Ratatouille Recipe | Vegetable Recipe
Slice the onions and crush the garlic cloves with the back of the knife. Blanch the tomatoes in boiling water. Peel and chop and remove the hard yellow cores.
Heat 4 tbsp of the oil in a large heavy pan. Fry the onions until transparent, then add the tomatoes and garlic cloves. Pour in the tomato juice and half the white wine. Add the green herbs, salt and pepper, and stew over a low heat for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile halve, core and de-seed the peppers. Slice into strips.
Wash the aubergines and courgettes, then slice thickly. Heat another 4 tbsp of olive oil in a saucepan. Cook these vegetables over a high heat, stirring from time to time, until golden.
Heat the oven to 190° C.
Heat the remaining oil in another saucepan and brown the sliced peppers.
Put all the vegetables in the saucepan with the onion and tomato mixture. Add the remaining wine and cover the pan.
Place in the center of the oven and stew for 2 hours.
Remove the vegetables using a slotted spoon. Drain briefly (the vegetables should still be soaked in olive oil) and place in a serving dish.
This Ratatouille or veggie dish tastes even better the following day, whether served hot or cold.
Serve with fresh French bread.
