Ratatouille Sauté
Description
Ratatouille Sauté combines chopped yellow onion, zucchini, yellow squash, peeled eggplant, minced garlic, and canned diced tomatoes with their juices, seasoned with dried basil, thyme, rosemary, and salt. The vegetables are first sautéed in olive or avocado oil until the onion softens and slightly browns. Then the remaining vegetables and tomatoes are added and simmered covered, cooking until tender but still holding shape. The cooking method and dry herbs create a concentrated but balanced tomato-vegetable stew that maintains some texture rather than becoming mushy. The dish showcases the core ingredients of classic ratatouille but is made simply on the stove, well suited for a vegetable side serving or a light, rustic meal.
Ingredients
- 3 Tbsp olive oil or avocado oil
- 1 yellow onion chopped
- 3 zucchini halved lengthwise and chopped
- 1 yellow squash halved lengthwise and chopped
- 1 eggplant peeled and chopped into 1/2" squares
- 5 cloves garlic minced
- 2 (14-oz) cans diced tomatoes including juices
- ½ tsp basil dried
- ½ tsp thyme dried
- ½ tsp rosemary dried
- ½ tsp salt or to taste
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet (12 inches with a deep lip), wok, or Dutch oven over medium heat, and add the onion. Sauté onion until it begins turning brown, about 10 minutes
- Add garlic, sauté 2 minutes
- Add zucchini, eggplant, diced tomatoes, herbs and salt. Cover and stir every couple of minutes. You want the vegetables to reach a boil which will take about 12 minutes to reach if you’re cooking over medium to medium-high.
- Continue cooking and stirring until the vegetables reach desired level of done-ness, for me this was another 7 minutes or so.
- Don’t allow your veggies to get soggy. Soggy veggies are gross veggies.
