“Tumbet” is a traditional dish from the Spanish island of Mallorca, which is part of the Balearic Islands. It’s a flavorful vegetable dish that is typically served as a main course or as a side dish.

Tumbet is made by layering slices of fried potatoes, eggplant (aubergine), and red bell peppers in a baking dish. Sometimes, sliced tomatoes are also included in the layers. Each layer is typically seasoned with garlic, salt, and pepper, and sometimes herbs like thyme or oregano are added for extra flavor.

After layering the vegetables, the dish is often topped with a tomato sauce made from ripe tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, and sometimes onions and herbs. Then, it’s baked in the oven until the vegetables are tender and the flavors meld together.

Tumbet is a delicious and satisfying dish that highlights the fresh flavors of Mediterranean vegetables. It’s often enjoyed as a vegetarian option, but it can also be served alongside grilled meats or fish.
