Tourlou Tourlou means "all mixed up" and is a Greek take on ratatouille.
This traditional Greek vegan dish is basically a medley of vegetables roasted in the oven long enough for them to sweeten and soften up.
The baked vegetable meal is very similar to French ratatouille but more liberal with the vegetables and extra virgin olive oil content.
Full of hearty veggies and extra virgin olive oil goodness, this vegan dish is delicious and perfect to make any time of the year.
