Instructions to make Tourlou Tourlou 🌱:

Start with the onions and sauté until translucent, add the garlic and then the peppers and courgettes. You want to sauté until cooked but not soft and squishy. You could pop them in a roasting tray in the oven if you prefer.
- Grate the tomatoes on top of the veggies. You can use good quality crushed tomatoes if you prefer. Add the hard herbs - bay and thyme. Cook on a gentle simmer until the veg take on the flavour of the garlic and tomatoes.
- Serve with a drizzle of olive oil, a sprinkle of soft herbs and a squeeze of lemon 🍋
With such a long time in the oven, the vegetables take on a roasted quality, just better.
