French Ratatouille Vegetarian Recipe
August 3rd 2010 03:42
Ingredients
1 Zuchini
1 Eggplant (aubergine)
1 Capsicum
½ Brown onion
1 Garlic clove
2 Tomatoes
15ml (½ floz) Oil
Salt and pepper
Method
Halve and deseed the capsicum, then cut it into flat sections. I have used a number of dwarf capsicums from my garden.
Char the skin side of the capsicum slices directly on a hot electric element or over a gas flame. This imparts a smoky char grilled flavour and aroma.
Cut the zucchini and eggplant into thick slices and sear them the same way as the capsicum.
Gently fry the sliced onion in the oil.
Add the garlic and the sliced and charred capsicum.
Add the diced tomato and stir together.
Add the zucchini and eggplant and simmer.
If the pan is too dry add a ¼ cup of water.
When the zucchini and eggplant are softened, the ratatouille is ready to serve as a yummy vegetable accompaniment.
Alternatively, place the ratatouille in an ovenproof dish, sprinkle with breadcrumbs (optional) and bake for five minutes in a hot oven.
Bon Appétit!

I like it with a big piece of orange zest in while it's simmering and maybe a few other little bits and pieces, and sometimes just on its own on a big bowl of rice.

btw, I hate orange zest but I would have liked some lemon thyme in it.
