 | Ratatouilleposted by Devorah Reiss, Aishes ChayilTuesday, May 8th 2012 @ 7:16 AM |
The best thing about fruits and vegetables is that you don't need a real recipe in order to come up with something yummy. It is also very difficult to mess up fruits and veggies to the point of being unfixable or inedible. This recipe, while a Frenchman might not recognize it as 'genuine' ratatouille, is very simple and tasty.
INGREDIENTS
1 medium-large eggplant, diced
2 zucchini, chopped
2-3 tomatoes, diced
1-2 bell peppers, chopped
1 large onion, diced
Thyme (1 Tablespoon or to taste)
Salt and pepper
8 oz can of tomato sauce (optional)
DIRECTIONS
1. Heat olive oil or cooking oil of choice in a skillet. Add onion and stir occasionally until it becomes transparent.
2. Add the remaining chopped vegetables. Stir occasionally until the vegetables start giving off a little water, then add the thyme, salt, and pepper and stir.
3. Cover the pan and lower the flame slightly. Cook for 20-30 minutes or until all of the vegetables are cooked.
4. Stir in the tomato sauce until it is just heated through. If you want to thin it slightly, add a little water, broth, or cooking water from vegetables.
