Ingredients
- 1 Large eggplant *see picture
- 3 Pieces tomato
- 3 small zucchini
- 2 bell pepper
- 1 onion
- 2-3 Pieces garlic cloves
- 1 turnip optional, or other veggies, *see Notes
- 2 Tablespoon olive oil
- 2 Tablespoon herbes de provence
- salt to taste
- Black Pepper Ground to taste
- 1-2 bay leaves
- 1¼ Cup stock *see Notes
Instructions
- Prepare all your vegetables by rinsing them first. You can choose to peel your eggplant, zucchini and tomatoes. Cut the vegetables into chunks, slice onion and chop garlic.
- If you are adding some frozen veggies, keep them out and ready.
- Heat up a pan with the oil and saute onion slices and chopped garlic until soft.
- Add all the vegetable chunks, fresha nd frozen, to the pot.
- Season with herb de provence, salt, black pepper and bay leaves.
- Keep over medium to high heat and stir. Cook for 1-2 minutes.
- Pour stock over the veggies and combine.
- Cook for 2 minutes on high heat. Cover the pot and take down to a medium heat setting. Bring to a boil, remove the lid and stir again.
- Cover again the pot and keep the ratatouille on a lower heat setting so that it gets to simmer slowly for about 50 minutes or until you are satisfied with the consistency. It should be cooked through but visibly a bit chunky.
- Take out bay leaves before you intend to serve the dish. Just stir through before serving time.
- Serve with rice as a main course dish, or as a side dish. You can eat it hot or cold. *see post for ideas
Notes
- I like to add 1 turnip to my ratatouille. In the video, it's the frozen vegetable. You can add another veggie instead. I talk about options in the post. You can also just skip the turnip all together or add little more tomatoes or zucchini or eggplant instead.
- You can use frozen vegetables too. Fresh taste better and are more nutritious.
- Pick a vegetable broth if you are going all vegan.
- In the post, I talk about adding lard for a nonveg ratatouille. Lard adds flavor and proteins to the dish. A sausage such as Kielbasa does the same thing.
- If you want a thicker Ratatouille consistency, I recommend that you add 2-3 tablespoon tomato sauce.
- For more seasoning options see in the post. You can add even more flavors if you like with herbs and spices!
