Tombet or tumbet is a traditional vegetable dish from
aubergines and red bell peppers previously fried in olive oil
. It is available at almost every local restaurant on the island.
Tombet is often served along with fish or meat, but on its own it makes a good vegetarian dish.
Preparation
The aubergines and red peppers should not be peeled. The whole is topped with tomato fried with garlic and parsley and presented in a way that it looks like a pie without a crust.[1]
Tombet is the Majorcan version of the Occitan ratatouille or the Catalan samfaina. Influenced by those dishes, nowadays some people add zucchini to the mixture, but this is a vegetable that is not present in the original dish. [2]
