Ingredients
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 red onion sliced
- 1 aubergine (eggplant) cut into 2cm / ¾inch chunks
- 1 large courgette (zucchini) cut into 2cm / ¾inch chunks
- 1 bulb of fennel cut into 2cm / ¾inch chunks
- 8 chicken thighs (or legs or a mixture)
- 2 garlic cloves chopped finely or crushed
- 400 ml chicken stock
- 400 g tin chopped tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- salt and pepper
- Rice, couscous or bread to serve
Instructions
- Put 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a wide, deep saucepan and add the sliced onions. Cook on a low heat, covered with a lid, for 5 minutes until the onions are soft but not brown.
- Add the chunks of aubergine, courgettes and fennel and turn the heat up to medium-high. Cook until golden brown (5-10 minutes), stirring occasionally.
- Meanwhile, put the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan and place over a high heat. Season the chicken pieces and add to the hot frying pan. Fry for 3 minutes on each side, until golden brown. (Note: you can do this before starting the ratatouille, if you don’t like juggling two pans at once.)
- When the vegetables are ready, turn the heat back down low and add the crushed garlic. Fry for one more minute, then add the chicken stock, tinned tomatoes and oregano, plus some salt and pepper.
- Bring the ratatouille to the boil, then turn down low and add the chicken pieces, skin side up.
- Cover with a lid and simmer for 25 minutes.
- After 25 minutes give the stew a stir and cook for a further 20 minutes with the lid off. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and add a splash of water if it starts to get dry.
- Serve with rice, mashed potatoes, couscous or crusty bread and a glass of French Grenache red or rosé.
