Prep Time: 30 mins Cook Time: 30 mins Total: 1hr mins


Ingredients

  • 3 potatoes
  • 4 carrots
  • 3 courgettes
  • 2 peppers
  • 5 tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup vegan butter (or your butter of choice for dairy eaters)
  • 3 tbsp vegan cheese (or Parmesan for dairy eaters)
  • 2 cups oat flour
  • ½ onion
  • parsley, to taste
  • 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • salt, to taste

How to prepare the vegetable crumble

STEP 1 – PREPARE VEGETABLES

  • Wash the potatoes, carrots, courgettes, peppers, and tomatoes. 
  • Peel the potatoes and cut them into chunks or thick slices. 
  • Grate the outermost layer of the carrots and remove the ends, then cut them into slices. Steam the carrots and potatoes and let them soften for 10-15 minutes. 
  • Meanwhile, cut the courgettes into slices, as well as the tomatoes, and cut the peppers into pieces, removing the stem and seeds.

STEP 2 – SAUTE VEGETABLES

  • Fry half an onion cut into thin slices in 1 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil, together with a sprinkle of chopped parsley. 
  • Pour in all the vegetables, leaving the tomatoes for last, adding them 5 minutes from the end of cooking. Add salt and let them mix their flavors for about 15 minutes.
  • Let the cooking water evaporate, to prevent the crumble from having too much liquid at the bottom.

STEP 3 – PREPARE THE CRUMBLE

  • Add the butter cut into chunks, the oat flour, and the grated Parmesan cheese into a bowl. Add the salt and pepper, and start working the mixture with your hands, until you get large crumbs. Let it rest for a quarter of an hour in the refrigerator.

STEP 4 – ASSEMBLE + BAKE THE VEGETABLE CRUMBLE

  • Dry the vegetables from any excessive water.
  • In a pan, greased on the bottom, arrange the vegetables and cover them with a layer of crumble, compact and uniform. 
  • Bake for 30 minutes at 180 ° C, until it is golden on the surface, and serve hot.

Variations

  • To give more consistency to the crumble you can also add breadcrumbs.
  • To make it more crunchy you can add shelled and chopped walnuts, pistachios, or rolled oats.
  • Vary the vegetables used, depending on your taste and the season.
