How long would this food prep take you?

[Nameinspirationneeded]

I have a disability and saw a recipe for ratatouille and time prep as 5mins. It would take me much longer but wondered how realistic for able bodied - how long you think it would take you -

dice one onion (ingredient. This just says onion, so not sure about peeling in the 5 mins)
, finely slice six garlic cloves (ingredients, list states peeled, so presumably not included in the five minutes),
half a courgette, and an aubergine and chopped into 2 to 3 cm pieces, halve a red pepper, length wise, remove the seeds and dice, about 2 cm.
Chop four large tomatoes into large chunks.

Less than 5 minutes

5 minutes sounds about right

5 minutes give or take but if you have a disability then it stands to reason that this is going to take you longer - depending on what your disability is

I reckon all that, including washing and peeling, would take me 10-15 mins.

Definitely more than 5 mins for me, and I thought I was quick!

That would be at a normal pace, not a Masterchef pace, btw!

I would say between 5 and 10 minutes

Frozen onion, garlic and pepper would help you out. Frozen courgette and aubergine don't work, too watery.

I could do it in 5 mins, I have a big knife and use it lots. I try not to grumble at kitchen helpers but good grief they are slow.

I wouldn’t wash any of these vegetables . The only peeling would be the onion.
I reckon 5 minutes

It would take me longer than 5 mins for sure.

10-15 minutes, including assembling all the ingredients from various places, getting the chopping board and knife and food waste bin, doing the chopping and then tidying it all up and wiping the side afterwards.

Actual chopping veg 5-7 minutes.

I’m able bodied - 5 mins. I also have a good Global brand knife. Having said that I am able bodied, I do have high Rh factors and don’t like chopping for too long as my hands get a bit cranky, hence the very good super sharp knife. I don’t chop vege in holiday lets with blunt knives!

Does it matter how long it takes? I have a health condition that is fine one day, flares up the day after. Things take as long as they take.

To chop it up, a bit more than 5 mins. Maybe 7 mins but a bit extra to retrieve ingredients, unwrap wash it, get your knives and chopping board out and so on.

Missing the point here but SIX garlic cloves?! Wow that's a lot, I use oone or two in my ratatouille, and I love garlic.

Anyway, I'd say around 5 mins for me to prep the stuff you've listed.

Yes, 5-10 minutes tops. The onion is the only time-consuming part, really (and even then not so much.)

Frozen chopped onion or onion/carrot/celery mix is an excellent thing, btw.

I'd do it in five minutes but I'm pretty speedy and if it told me to cut into 2cm chunks...I wouldn't be particularly precise.

It would definitely take me longer than 5 minutes. I would say 10-15 minutes for me.

I am a slow cooker, no disabilities. It would take me at least 10 minutes.

10 to 15 mins I reckon. I love ratatouille but hate making it because the prep seems to take forever.

😂meant to say I am a slow cook.
I faff around and take ages.

A bit less than 5 mins probably, including peeling onion and garlic.

10 ish minutes I reckon? I have a sharp knife etc I'm just liable to cut my own fingers off if I hurry.

5 mins to chop plus whatever time it takes the sous chef to prep everything for chopping and clean up! The beauty of ratatouille is its rusticness, it’s very forgiving and the more garlic the better for me.

10-15 minutes. I'm not a fast chopper.

I'm wondering OP whether a food processor may be something that would help you with meal prep if you find chopping a challenge? I know it's on my wish list when I have some spare pennies. I've seen one that spirilizes too. 😁
