Time 1h30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
1 ½ cloves garlic, minced
1 pound tomatoes, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 eggplant, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
3 zucchini, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 red bell pepper, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
¼ cup tomato sauce
1 ½ tablespoons herbes de Provence
salt and cracked black pepper to taste
¼ cup dry red wine
2 large red bell pepper, halved lengthwise and seeded
1 cup shredded Italian cheese blend, divided
Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
1 pinch cracked black pepper

Steps:

  • Pour olive oil into a large pot over high heat. Add onion and garlic and saute for 2 minutes. Reduce heat and add tomatoes, eggplant, zucchini, bell pepper, tomato sauce, herbes de Provence, salt, and pepper. Stir in wine, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes. Uncover and simmer until vegetables are just tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Leave ratatouille warm in the pot until ready to use.
  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Arrange pepper halves, cut-sides down, in a 2-quart baking dish.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.
  • Turn peppers so cut sides face up. Mix 2 cups ratatouille with 1/2 cup Italian cheese blend; spoon into pepper halves. Cover loosely with foil and bake until peppers are tender and filling is heated through, about 25 minutes.
  • Uncover peppers; sprinkle with remaining cheese. Continue baking until cheese is melted, about 5 minutes more. Garnish with parsley and top with black pepper.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I would have used less chili powder next time. Otherwise, it was a good recipe and the flavors were nice.

This dish was a bit too bland for my taste. I think I would have added more seasoning or maybe some additional herbs. The bell peppers were also a bit undercooked for my liking. Overall, it was okay, but I wouldn't make it again.

This dish was a bit too oily for my taste. I think I would have drained the ratatouille filling a bit before stuffing the bell peppers. Otherwise, it was a good recipe and the flavors were nice.
