Ingredients:

2 big red peppers and 2 big yellow peppers, chopped in four, without the seeds.

1 big eggplant cut in slices length-wise

2 big zucchini cut in slices length-wise

90 ml (6 table spoons) extra Virgin Olive Oil 

1 big red onion, sliced thinly

75 gr (1/2 cup) raisins

15 ml tomato paste

15 ml  red wine vinegar

400 ml  tomato juice

15 gr  gelatin powder

Fresh basil leaves for dressing

 

For the dressing

90 ml  Fine Virgin Olive Oil D.O.P from Kalamata

30 ml  red wine vinegar

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Procedure:

 

Place the chopped red and yellow peppers (skins up) under a hot grill until they turn brown. Place them on a plate and cover.Place the sliced egg plant and zucchini in separate oven dishes. Cover lightly with oil; grill them, turning them regularly, until they are soft and golden.
Sautee the onions with the rest of the oil together with the raisins, tomato paste and vinegar. Cook over low heat until all liquids are absorbed.
Put a sheet of cooking wrap in a terrine casserole (1.75 liters) – oil the terrine casserole first with a little oil and leave some of the sheet hanging over the edge.Pour half the quantity of the tomato juice in to a pot and sprinkle over it the gelatin powder. Melt it by stirring lightly over a low heat.


Place a layer of red peppers in the terrain casserole and pour over enough mixture of tomato juice and gelatin in order to cover them. Continue with layers of egg plant, zucchini, onion mixture and finish with another layer of red peppers. Pour tomato juice on top of each vegetable layer.

Add the remaining tomato juice to what has remained in the pot and pour it into the casserole. Rotate the casserole well so that the juice spreads everywhere. Cover and put in the fridge until it sets.For the dressing, whisk the oil with the vinegar, add salt and pepper. Turn the casserole upside down on a plate and remove the cooking wrap. Serve cut in thick slices covered with the dressing. Dress with basil leaves.
