Ratatouille is the first recipe I learned from my mother in law. This is my favorite cos you don’t need to add meat.. it's a vegetables stew. I usually add tomato sauce to get a strong tomato flavor.
Grilling meat is my husband’s job in the kitchen , mine is ratatouille.
One day, I was craving for ratatouile and he was craving for a grilled lamb steak so…here’s the output:
Ratatouille
Ingredients:
2 cloves garlic(chopped)
2 big onions(cut in half/sliced)
3 big tomatoes(cut in half/sliced)
1 medium eggplant(cut in half/ sliced)
1 medium suchini(cut in half/sliced)
½ cup of tomato sauce(optional but you have to add 1 more big tomato if tomato sauce is not available)
1 tbsp. of catsup(optional) or ½ carrot (sliced) – also optional if you want to make it a bit sweet.
1 tsp. Herbes de
1 bay leaf
salt and pepper
2 to 3 tbsp. of olive oil
Directions:
In a pan, stir fry the onions and garlic with 1 tbsp. of water for 3 to 4 minutes then add the remaining vegetables, herbs. bay leaf, salt and pepper then cover and continue cooking over a low heat until all are cooked(but not overcooked). Add olive oil after cooking.
Note: If you have leftover ratatouille, you can poach eggs on top of ratatouille and you can add anchovies or smoked ham and chili powder, salt and pepper and you will have a nice egg pizza over ratatouille. (I will post this soon.)
