2 zucchinis
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, diced

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven for 375˚F (190˚C).
  • Slice the eggplant, tomatoes, squash, and zucchini into approximately ¹⁄₁₆-inch (1-mm) rounds, then set aside.
  • Make the sauce: Heat the olive oil in a 12-inch (30-cm) oven-safe pan over medium-high heat. Sauté the onion, garlic, and bell peppers until soft, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then add the crushed tomatoes. Stir until the ingredients are fully incorporated. Remove from heat, then add the basil.

  • Make the herb seasoning: In a small bowl, mix together the basil, garlic, parsley, thyme, salt, pepper, and olive oil. Spoon the herb seasoning over the vegetables.
  • Cover the pan with foil and bake for 40 minutes. Uncover, then bake for another 20 minutes, until the vegetables are softened.
  • Serve while hot as a main dish or side. The ratatouille is also excellent the next day--cover with foil and reheat in a 350˚F (180˚C) oven for 15 minutes, or simply microwave to desired temperature.
  • Enjoy!

RATATOUILLE



Ratatouille image

In this classic Provençal dish, summer vegetables, like eggplant, onions, peppers, tomatoes and zucchini, are covered in olive oil and roasted separately, then all together, until they become a soft, harmonious stew. This recipe calls for seeding and peeling the tomatoes, which is a bit of work. But it's worth it for the intensity of flavor and the velvety texture. Ratatouille takes some time to make, and tastes better the next day, so plan ahead. The upside is that it's a perfect make-ahead dish for a party. You can store it in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, then gently reheat it, or bring it to room temperature before serving. This recipe is part of The New Essentials of French Cooking, a guide to definitive dishes every modern cook should master. Buy the book.

Categories     dinner, lunch, soups and stews, main course, side dish

Time 3h

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 garlic cloves
2 medium white onions
3 medium zucchini
2 medium eggplant
3 sweet red peppers, such as bell peppers, red cubanelle or any other sweet variety
3 sprigs fresh rosemary
6 sprigs fresh thyme
1 cup olive oil, more as needed
2 large heirloom or beefsteak tomatoes
2 small bay leaves, ripped in half
1 1/2 teaspoons fine sea salt, more as needed
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Prepare the vegetables: Smash and peel 3 garlic cloves, reserving the 4th. Halve onions through their roots, and slice halves into 1/4-inch-thick pieces. Slice zucchini into 1/4-inch-thick rounds. Cut eggplant into 1-inch cubes or spears. Seed peppers, and cut them into 1/4-inch-thick strips.
  • Spread each vegetable on a separate rimmed baking sheet (use extra sheets as necessary). Add the 3 cloves of smashed garlic to the onion pan. Add 1 sprig rosemary and 2 sprigs thyme to each of the pepper, eggplant and zucchini pans. Sprinkle salt lightly over vegetables. Drizzle 3 tablespoons olive oil on each of the pans.
  • Place all the pans in the oven (or work in batches if they don't fit at once). Cook until vegetables are very tender and lightly browned at the edges. This will take about 35 to 40 minutes for the peppers (their skins should shrivel), 40 to 45 minutes for the eggplant and zucchini (the eggplant should crisp slightly and the zucchini should be well cooked, so let them go 3 to 5 minutes longer than you normally might), and 60 to 65 minutes for the onions. Don't worry about the vegetables being pretty; they will meld into the ratatouille. Shake or stir the pans every 15 to 20 minutes or so, especially the onions.
  • In the meantime, prepare the tomatoes: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add tomatoes and blanch until the skins split, about 10 seconds. Use a slotted spoon to quickly transfer the tomatoes to a bowl filled with ice water.
  • Using a paring knife, peel the cooled tomatoes (the skins should slip right off). Halve tomatoes across their equators. Set a sieve over a bowl. Working over the bowl, use your fingers to seed the tomatoes, letting the seeds catch in the sieve and the juice run into the bowl. Discard seeds but save juices. Dice tomatoes and add to the reserved juices in bowl.
  • Finely grate or mince remaining garlic clove. Add garlic to tomatoes along with bay leaves and a large pinch of salt. Set aside.
  • Once vegetables are done cooking, combine them on one baking sheet or a large shallow baking dish and add ingredients from tomato bowl. Toss well. Vegetables will be stacked, and that's O.K. Cover generously with olive oil, using remaining ¼ cup oil or more, and sprinkle with salt. Everything should have a good coat of oil, but should not be drowning in it. Cook at least 1 hour, stirring every 15 to 20 minutes, until vegetables are very tender and imbued with juices and oil. Add salt and pepper to taste, then serve warm, or let cool.

Tips for Making Ratatouille Stir-Fry:

  • Use fresh, high-quality vegetables. This will make a big difference in the flavor and texture of your stir-fry.
  • Cut your vegetables into uniform pieces. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. If you add too many vegetables at once, they will steam instead of stir-frying.
  • Cook the vegetables over high heat. This will help them retain their color and flavor.
  • Stir the vegetables constantly. This will prevent them from burning.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables. They should be tender but still have a little bit of crunch.
  • Season the stir-fry to taste. You may want to add salt, pepper, garlic powder, or other spices.
  • Serve the stir-fry immediately. It is best when it is hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

Ratatouille stir-fry is a delicious and healthy dish that is easy to make. It is a great way to use up fresh vegetables and it can be served as a main course or a side dish. The tips above will help you make the best ratatouille stir-fry possible.
