Preparation

In a large pot, brown the eggplant and onion in ¼ cup (60 ml) of the oil. Season with salt and pepper. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Set aside in a bowl.
In the same pot, brown the mushrooms with the pepper flakes in the remaining oil. Set aside with the eggplant.
In the same pot, brown the bell peppers and zucchini. Add oil, if needed. Return the eggplant mixture to the pot. Add the tomatoes and thyme. Stir well. Bring to a boil and simmer gently for 15 to 20 minutes. Remove the thyme and add the basil. Adjust the seasoning. Serve with pasta, fish, grilled chicken, or on pizza.

Note

Ratatouille is a basic vegetable dish from the southern region of France, particularly Nice. It contains eggplant, tomatoes, zucchini, onions, peppers, and garlic. Each vegetable is first cooked separately and then they come together to a smooth a soft texture. Some elements can vary, including adding vegetables (such as mushrooms here) or various aromatic elements (such as olives). It is delicious on pizza.

Used my tomatoes from the garden and fresh chillies also from my garden. Frying each step is a must. Was a hit with hubby!

Excellente! Si vous substituez les tomates en dés en conserve pour des tomates régulières, attention au surplus d'eau de végétation.
