Time 1h

Yield 6 servings as a main, 12 servings as a side

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 yellow bell peppers, diced into 1/2-inch pieces (about 2 cups)
1 large yellow onion, diced into 1/2-inch pieces (about 2 cups)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 large eggplant (1 1/2 pounds), diced into 1/2-inch pieces (about 9 cups)
1 large zucchini (1 pound), diced into 1/2-inch pieces (about 3 1/2 cups)
3 cloves garlic, minced (about 1 tablespoon)
3 tablespoons tomato paste
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, optional
1 1/2 pounds ripe tomatoes, diced into 1/2-inch pieces (about 4 cups)
1/2 cup fresh parsley, chopped, plus more for serving
6 large fresh basil leaves, torn, plus more for serving

Steps:

  • Heat 1/4 cup olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat until shimmering, about 1 minute. Add the bell peppers, onion and 1 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring often, until the onions are translucent and the bell peppers have softened slightly, about 10 minutes. Add the eggplant, the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring often, until the eggplant is very soft, about 8 minutes. Add the zucchini and continue to cook, stirring often, until beginning to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, tomato paste and red pepper flakes, if using. Cook, stirring often, until the zucchini has softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the tomatoes, bring to a simmer and then reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the ratatouille has reached a thick stew-like consistency, about 10 minutes. Stir in the parsley and basil with salt and pepper to taste. Spoon into a bowl and sprinkle with more fresh parsley and basil before serving.

RATATOUILLE PIE



Ratatouille Pie image

In this buttery, rustic pie, chunks of eggplant, zucchini and tomato are roasted with olive oil until velvety soft, then covered in a cheesy, mayonnaise-spiked custard. Chopped olives scattered on top cut through the richness and give the whole thing a salty tang. It's the perfect next-day use for ratatouille, should you have some. Use it here instead of roasting the vegetables. You'll need about 3 to 4 cups (enough to fill the pie crust two-thirds of the way up). You can parbake the crust, roast the vegetables and make the custard the day before, but don't bake everything together until the day of serving.

Time 2h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

1 1/4 cups/160 grams all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 cup/113 grams unsalted butter (1 stick), cut into cubes, plus more for buttering foil
1/3 cup ice water, plus more if needed
1 large eggplant (about 1 1/2 pounds), cut into 3/4-inch cubes
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
5 garlic cloves, smashed and peeled
1 tablespoon rosemary leaves, chopped
1 tablespoon thyme leaves
Kosher salt, as needed
1 cup cherry tomatoes, cut in half
1 large white onion, sliced 1/4-inch thick
1 small zucchini or summer squash, cut into 3/4-inch cubes (about 7 ounces)
1 large egg
3/4 cup coarsely grated white Cheddar or Gruyère
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1/4 teaspoon black pepper, plus more as needed
1/2 cup basil leaves, chopped
1 small plum tomato, sliced 1/4-inch thick (optional)
1 tablespoon chopped Moroccan black olives (or other good black olives)

Steps:

  • Make the dough: In a large bowl, mix together flour, salt and sugar to combine. Mix in cubed butter with your hands, pinching and squeezing the butter cubes (or use a pastry blender or food processor) until the largest pieces are the size of lima beans. Drizzle in the water a little at a time, mixing until the dough starts to come together into a mass. You may not need all the water, or you may need to add more.
  • When dough is starting to hold together but is still somewhat crumbly, transfer it to a lightly floured surface and press and knead it together into a smooth ball. Flatten into disk, wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 1 hour.
  • While dough chills, heat oven to 400 degrees.
  • On a rimmed baking sheet, toss together eggplant, 1/4 cup oil, 2 garlic cloves, 1 1/2 teaspoons rosemary, 1 1/2 teaspoons thyme and 1/4 teaspoon salt. On a second rimmed baking sheet, toss together the cherry tomatoes, onion slices, 2 tablespoons oil, 2 garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon rosemary, 1 teaspoon thyme and 1/4 teaspoon salt. On a third rimmed baking sheet (or roasting pan if you don't have any more baking sheets), toss together zucchini, 2 tablespoons oil, 1 garlic clove, 1/2 teaspoon rosemary, 1/2 teaspoon thyme and a large pinch of salt.
  • Place all the pans in the oven (or work in batches if they don't fit at once) and roast until vegetables are browned, tossing every 10 minutes or so; about 35 minutes for onions, tomatoes and zucchini, and 45 minutes for eggplant. Remove from oven and let cool.
  • On a floured surface, roll out dough to a 12-inch circle, then transfer to a 9-inch pie pan. Crimp edges to make a decorative crust. Use a fork to prick holes in bottom and sides of dough. Chill for 30 minutes.
  • Raise oven temperature to 425 degrees. Place pie shell on a rimmed baking sheet. Line dough with foil, fill with pie weights and bake for 15 minutes. Remove foil and weights, and continue baking until the dough is just baked through and barely turning golden on the edges, 5 to 10 minutes longer. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees.
  • In a medium bowl, beat egg until well mixed, then fold in both cheeses, mayonnaise, a pinch of salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
  • Scrape all roasted vegetables into a large bowl, add basil, and toss well. Taste and season with more salt and pepper if needed. Spoon mixture into the baked pie shell, then top with cheese mixture. Arrange plum tomato slices on top, if using, and scatter with olives.
  • Bake until filling is lightly golden, about 30 minutes. Cool for at least 20 minutes before serving warm or at room temperature.

2 yellow squashes
2 zucchinis
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 yellow bell pepper, diced
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
28 oz can of crushed tomatoes

2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil, from 8-10 leaves

2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
2 teaspoons fresh thyme
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
4 tablespoons olive oil

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. Stir once more, then smooth the surface of the sauce with a spatula.
  • Arrange the sliced veggies in alternating patterns, (for example, eggplant, tomato, squash, zucchini) on top of the sauce from the outer edge to the middle of the pan. Season with salt and pepper.
  • 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.

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:

  • To ensure the vegetables retain their vibrant colors, cook them separately and combine them at the end.
  • Use a large skillet or Dutch oven to accommodate all the vegetables comfortably.
  • Slice the vegetables evenly so they cook uniformly.
  • Season each layer of vegetables lightly with salt and pepper to enhance their natural flavors.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet when cooking the vegetables; cook them in batches if necessary, to prevent them from steaming instead of sautéing.
  • Taste the sauce before serving and adjust the seasonings as desired.
  • Garnish the ratatouille with fresh herbs like chopped basil or parsley for an extra layer of flavor and color.

Conclusion:

Ratatouille is a classic French dish that showcases the beauty of fresh summer vegetables. With its vibrant colors, delicious flavors, and versatility, it's a dish that can be enjoyed as a main course, a side dish, or even as a topping for grilled meats or fish. Whether you're a seasoned cook or a beginner, ratatouille is a recipe that is sure to impress. So, gather your fresh vegetables, follow the simple steps in this recipe, and enjoy a taste of Provençal sunshine in your own kitchen!
