Easy, healthy and perfect to use leftover vegetables!

RATATOUILLE 🐀 👩‍🍳
INGREDIENTS:
1/2 can of chopped tomatoes + 3 large tomatoes
2 bell peppers
1 large onion
1 aubergine
1 courgette
1 tsp of dried mixed herbs or 1 tbsp of fresh ones
1 bay leaf
3 garlic cloves
1 tsp salt
1 tsp of black pepper
Olive oil
INSTRUCTIONS:
Grill the bell peppers on the stove or in the oven at 200 degrees
Take the bell peppers out but keep the oven on, change the temperature to 160 degrees
Peel of the skin and roughly chop them
Chop up the onion
Heat up 2 tbsps of olive oil in a pan, fry the onion until golden brown, add the garlic, fry for a couple of minutes before adding the bell peppers and the chopped tomatoes (not the whole tomatoes). Cook for a couple of minutes and keep stirring
Pour the mixture in a bowl and blend with a hand blender
Pour the mixture in a round oven dish
Cut the courgette, aubergine and tomatoes in thin slices
Place the slices on top of the mixture while alternating them (one slice of courgette followed by a slice of aubergine followed by a slice of tomato)
Add one tablespoon of olive oil on top
Cover with a baking sheet and put in the oven for 35 to 45 minutes. Take the baking sheet off halfway through.
Bon appétit!

Would be better without the aubergine or courgette - slimy, horrible things.

Was a good way to use up what I had in the fridge, but yes, any vegetables will do!

Sure, I always have 2 bell peppers, 1 large onion, 1 aubergine, 1 courgette and 3 garlic cloves "leftover".

Use up the leftover veg! Sure, I'll do that right after my vegan yoga class in Waitrose. LMAO!

Ybvvvu for using the term 'bell peppers'

MillicentTrilbyHiggins · 16/02/2023 00:17

I never knew ratatouille was baked with a top layer like that!

I prefer to do my yoga classes in Selfridges.

You should try it instead! You sound quite tense, Waitrose's mustn't be working

You are right!

This is confirmation byaldi, a variation of the traditional ratatouille made by chef Michel Guérard

Just ignore the poster berating you for saying 'bell pepper'. It's mostly used by Americans and some posters on here are very scathing about 'Americanisms'. They are dickheads.

YABU for not posting this under Food and Recipes where it belongs.

Looks lovely, I've never seen it layered like that either.

And ignore the wankers in the replies.

But it wouldn't be ratatouille without them, it'd just be peppers and tomato Confused

I guess you're glad it wasn't eggplant and zucchini with them?Grin

Mouldyfoodhelp · 16/02/2023 00:36

I guess this is the pot and kettle situation but I don't see why people have to be dicks over word usage which is harmless, well known and not contextually or grammatically incorrect. I get that this website has an overwhelming UK user base but if the poster was American I don't get why they should be berated for that.

So much hate over my American French ratatouille 😂

But then you've got 0.5 can of tomatoes left over.

ErrolTheDragon · 16/02/2023 12:52

Surely no one would really not just put the whole can of toms in, with that much other veg, and cook a bit longer if it needed reducing?

FadoFado · 16/02/2023 12:57

Lord above. I don't know why people get so aerated by the most inconsequential things!

OP, I have a thing against cooked tomatoes so am therefore a bit of a ratatouille avoider. But I think it's nice of you to share your recipe Smile
