Prime Rib Roast with Ratatouille Salad (Serves 6 to 10)

Ingredients:

Ratatouille Salad

  • 3/4 cup olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, peeled and finely chopped
  • 1 onion, peeled and chopped
  • 2 red bell peppers, cored, seeded, and chopped
  • 1 large eggplant, trimmed and chopped
  • 1 yellow squash, trimmed and chopped
  • 1 cup tomato paste
  • 2 tomatoes, cored, seeded, and chopped
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh basil
  • Salt
  • Freshly ground white pepper
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 6 to 7 rib Certified Angus or Painted Hills all Natural Prime Rib,
    seasoned by Main Street Meat & Fish Market

Instructions:

Heat 1/4 cup of the oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add the garlic, and sauté until lightly browned, about 1 1/2 minutes. Stir in the onion and bell peppers and sauté until softened, about 1 1/2 minutes.

Toss in the eggplant and squash and stir in the tomato paste. Raise the heat to high, bring to a boil, and boil for about 5 to 8 minutes, stirring frequently.

Add the tomatoes, cook for 1 minute more, and season with salt and white pepper.

Remove from heat and allow to cool to room temperature.  Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the remaining 1/2 cup olive oil and the balsamic vinegar to make a vinaigrette.  Pour over the ratatouille and toss gently to combine.  Serve chilled.
