Baked paprika, carotene powered.
I am not sure the body tells what it needs, but I wanted to eat this yellow orange color. I like thinking these food bring a lot of antioxidant β-carotene that I need now. Even if I’m wrong, I’ve eaten something good.

A yellow paprika and carrot *okara*. I made carrot juice, they are the grounds.

The filling is azuki beans, new onion, the carrot *okara*, turmeric, garlic, chili pepper, salt.

Baked. I’ve put a drizzle of olive oil on top. That favors vitamin absorption.

Grill’tatouille

That’s a kind of magic. Raw veggies taste great. Fried veggies are totally different, and taste great. Roasted veggies are another thing… Classic ratatouille is fried veggies. What happens when you roast instead ?

A delight !

Ratatouille veggies…

Super-veggies ! I piled them, but each has its roasting time under the grill.




Then combined :

With tomato, olive oil and red pepper sauce. Simmer the time they can suck in the sauce.

Coated in red.

Mmmmm…
