Savory Summer Harvest Ratatouille Pie
This savory ratatouille pie highlights the summer harvest of zucchini, eggplant, peppers, tomatoes, and more!
Ingredients
- ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil 59 grams
- 1 onion chopped, medium to large
- 2 cloves garlic more if you like
- 1 eggplant peeled and cubed (or 2 smaller unpeeled Asian eggplants)
- 2 zucchini cubed, medium
- 1 sweet pepper seeded and chopped
- 4 tomato peeled, seeded and cubed
- 2 teaspoons red wine vinegar 10 grams
- 1 pie dough double-crust, per recipe
- 1 basil chopped, fresh, handful
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Egg wash:
- 1 egg plus 2 tablespoons water, fork beaten
Instructions
- In a heavy frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until the onions are wilted, about 8 to 10 minutes. Add the eggplant and cook for another 5 minutes. Add the zucchini, pepper, tomatoes, and vinegar, cover and cook for about 30 minutes, until the vegetables have cooked down a bit. If there is too much liquid, remove the cover and reduce.
- Stir in the chopped basil and cool the filling completely. If there is still a lot of liquid in the pan, place the filling in a mesh colander and let the juice drip through. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Roll out one disc of pie dough and place it in a pie pan. Pour the cooled filling into the unbaked pie shell and top with a lattice crust, or a full top crust with vents.
- Chill the pie while you are preheating the oven to 475°F. Brush the pie with egg wash (I also like to sprinkle flaked sea salt and freshly ground black pepper over the top crust when I make savory pies; a contrast to sprinkling sugar on top of sweet pies), then bake for 10 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 375°F and bake for 20 minutes more, or until the crust is a nice golden color (mine baked an extra 8 to 10 minutes on top of the 20).
