Our one‑pot ratatouille orzo is a healthy, vegetable‑packed dish bursting with Mediterranean flavour – and you’ll only have one pan to wash! This vibrant twist on classic French ratatouille combines fresh vegetables roasted in our Mellow Yellow Cold Pressed Rapeseed Oil, tender orzo, and a rich tomato sauce for a comforting, nutrient‑dense meal. Finished with fresh basil and creamy feta, it’s a quick and easy one‑pot dinner the whole family will love.
Want to make it vegan? Simply leave out the feta for a plant‑based ratatouille orzo that’s just as flavourful.
