Sadly, this is not a movie review of that adorable movie. However, do not fret. This is a recipe of my first attempt at this staple entree meal in any chef's cooking adventures or road to becoming a chef. Something like that. Obviously, I am no Top Chef but I like to have my own "Julie and Julia" food adventures in the kitchen as you may have noticed and so one night, I decided to try out this infamous dish.
There are so many Ratatouille recipes out there, so it was just finding which one was closest to the fresh veggies that I had on hand. I think that I will definitely be trying this dish again in various forms, but more on that later.
I adapted this recipe from Palachinka
Ingredients
2 zucchinis
1 Large Eggplant
1 Red bell pepper (I didn't have one on hand...weird i know, so i used 1 red and 1 yellow )
1 Yellow bell pepper
1 big Onion (red or white or yellow)
1 small tomato (but I used a pint of grape tomatoes and halved them)
1 clove garlic
1 Cup of crumbled Feta or Goat Cheese
olive oil
various dried herbs: rosemary, thyme, parsley, chives....etc (whatever you have on hand and fits your taste buds)
salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
1) Preheat your oven to 325
2) Slice zucchinis, eggplants, larger onion and peppers as thin as possible
3) Line them in a artistic fashion in either a OILED round, square or rectangular baking pan on an oiled round baking pan in the following order ( I think it looks pretty if you have a similar pattern) .
4) Continue your pattern until you have used the ingredients.
5) Pour oil on top of the veggies.
6) Halve the cherry tomatoes or thinly slice your regular tomatoes and de-seed them. Also mince your garlic clove. Add both the tomatoes and garlic to the pan.
7) Finally, top with various herbs, salt and black pepper and a dash of water. Sprinkle with herbs, salt and black pepper and pour very little water so the vegetables don’t burn inside the oven.
8) Bake in a preheated oven on 325°C for about 10-15 minutes.
9) Top with Feta or Goat Cheese ( I just like the added flavor)
10) Bake for another 15 minutes.
11) Share and Enjoy!
