RECIPE 63

Ratatouille

      GRANNY SAYS: Rah-ta-Twee — it's a fancy word for a very agreeable way to give your family some of those out-of-the-loop veggies we know we should be having from time to time. And if you have a nice little garden that has been TAKEN OVER by one tiny zuc plant, here's a convenient way to disguise yet another zucchini meal.

     

One large eggplant 3 zucchini
2 large onions 1 green pepper
4 fresh tomatoes 6 tbsp. olive oil
1 tsp. basil 1/2 tsp. coriander
1/2 tsp. dill Salt and pepper to taste
  • Peel and dice all the vegetables.
  • Toss diced eggplant in a colander with 2 tbsp. salt and drain for 1/2 hour.
  • Sauté zucchini in 2 tbsp. olive oil for about 5 minutes, add onions and diced green pepper and cook for another 15 minutes.
  • In a large saucepan, sauté eggplant in remaining oil for 15 minutes, then add the zucchini mixture, tomatoes, and spices and continue cooking over low heat for about 45 minutes.
  • Completed ratatouille should not be mushy. (Serves 4-6.)
