Ciambotta, the tasty and healthy Mediterranean summer side dish.
Made with Tomato puree
Mutti® Tomato Puree (Passata) is sun-ripened 100% Italian tomatoes transformed into sweet velvety puree with just a touch of Mediterranean sea salt. After eliminating the skin and seeds, the tomatoes are pureed to achieve a smooth, luxurious texture while maintaining their bright red color and naturally sweet flavor. Fantastic in marinara sauce, tomato soup, or even a Bloody Mary.

Ciambotta: Method
- First, wash all the vegetables under running water and dry them well.
- For convenience, clean and cut all the vegetables into small to medium-sized cubes before starting the cooking process. This way, the cooking process will be easier. Transfer the vegetables into separate bowls as you go.
- Clean and slice the onion, then transfer it to a large pan with 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil and let it wilt for a few minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Now add the eggplant and sauté it with the onion for a couple of minutes.
- Add the bell peppers and potatoes, let them cook for a couple of minutes, then add the zucchini, cherry tomatoes, and basil leaves. Mix well and let cook for another minute over medium heat.
- Sprinkle the vegetables with water and tomato purée, then stir and cover with a lid. Let it cook over low heat for about twenty minutes or until the vegetables are tender.
- Once ready, turn off the heat and adjust with salt and pepper. You can serve the ciambotta hot, immediately after cooking, or warm or at room temperature.
