Ratatouille



This is an easy, comforting dish that uses many vegetables that are in season at end of summer or early fall.  The flavours meld deliciously while the dish bakes in the oven.  Ratatouille is delicious served with some crusty bread that can soak up the juices, and it’s perfect served over rice or pasta.  Leftovers are heavenly!

Ingredients:

Eggplant

Zucchini

Bell peppers

Tomatoes

Onions


Olive oil

Fresh garlic

Salt and pepper

Red pepper flakes (optional)

Fresh basil or parsley (optional)


Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.


Cut an assortment of vegetables into 1” cubes.  Toss generously with olive oil and season with chopped garlic, salt, and pepper.


Put into casserole dish or other baking pan.  Cover with tin foil and bake in hot oven for 45 – 60 minutes.


Sprinkle with chopped parsley or basil.


Enjoy hot, cold or at room temperature!
