🍽 Ingredients

• 1 Roti Dough (homemade or store-bought)
• 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
• 1 medium Onion
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 medium Zucchini
• 1 medium Eggplant
• 1 medium Red Bell Pepper
• 1 teaspoon Dried Oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon Dried Basil
• 1/4 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes
• to taste Salt and Pepper

📖 Instructions

1. First, we'll make the ratatouille. Grab your paring knife and vegetable peeler, and let's prep those veggies! Chop one medium onion, two cloves of garlic, one medium zucchini, one medium eggplant, and one red bell pepper into roughly 1/2-inch dice. You know, nice and even. Unless you like it rustic, then go nuts!
2. Next, heat two tablespoons of olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Sauté the onions until softened, about 5 minutes. Then add the garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant. Mmm, that smell!
3. Add the zucchini, eggplant, and bell pepper to the pan. Stir to combine. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender but not mushy. Remember, we want texture!
4. Now, sprinkle in one teaspoon of dried oregano, one-half teaspoon of dried basil, one-quarter teaspoon of red pepper flakes (or more, if you're feeling brave!), and salt and pepper to taste. Stir well to coat the vegetables. Let's get that flavor going!
5. While the vegetables are cooking, we can prepare the roti. If you're using store-bought dough, let's get it thawed first. Home-made roti dough: thats a whole other adventure, maybe for another time!
6. Once the ratatouille is cooked, set it aside to cool slightly. I usually grab a quick ice-cream at this point, dont tell anyone!
7. To assemble your Ratatouille Roti, spread a layer of the ratatouille over the center of each roti. Don't overload it; you want it to be delicious, not messy.
8. Fold the roti in half or roll it up, tucking in the filling to prevent spills. Get creative; some people like a neat little package, others want a more open, free-flowing experience. Your choice!
9. Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly oil the surface to prevent sticking. Cook the filled rotis for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and heated through. We want that crispy exterior!
10. Remove the rotis from the skillet and serve immediately. Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs, if desired. Maybe some feta crumbles, if you're feeling fancy! Enjoy your awesome creation!

📝 Notes

• If you're using home-made roti dough, make sure it's soft and pliable before using it. If it's too dry, add a teaspoon or two of water at a time until it reaches the desired consistency. Easy does it, you don't want to ruin the dough!
