Tourlou Tourlou – Greek Roasted Vegetables

A staple food in most Greek households, Tourlou Tourlou (meaning “all mixed up”) is our version of the French ratatouille dish. An assortment of fresh vegetables — eggplant, zucchini, potatoes, green beans, onion, garlic, and crushed tomato, this dish is sure to knock your socks off. It’s full of flavor and super healthy, too.

The slow cooking of this dish brings out the sweet, melt in your mouth flavor of the vegetables. Dill is the main flavor of this dish and pairs so well with the veggies. If dill isn’t your thing, feel free to use parsley and mint as an alternative.

I like to make a huge batch of this dish on a Sunday and then pair it with my favorite protein during the week. Tourlou Tourlou goes great with roast chicken, salmon filets, pork tenderloin, and even as the main dish served with crusty bread and a side Greek salad.

I like to chop my vegetables in bite-sized chunks but you can slice it any way you’d like! Try this one today and let me know in the comments what you think. Enjoy!
