Ratatouille (French Stew)

by Editorial Staff

This classic vegetable stew comes from Nice, the “homeland” of ratatouille.

Ingredients

  • Small eggplants – 1 kg
  • Zucchini – 3 pcs.
  • Ripe tomatoes – 1 kg
  • Bulgarian pepper – 2 pcs.
  • Bulb onions, large – 2 pcs.
  • Garlic – 6 cloves
  • Pitted black olives – 150 g
  • Capers – 30 g
  • Wine vinegar
  • Granulated sugar – 10 g
  • Fresh basil – 10 leaves (I forgot to buy – I used dried basil)
  • Thyme
  • Ground black pepper
  • Coarse and regular salt
  • Olive oil

Directions

  1. Cut the eggplants into cubes, transfer to a colander, sprinkle with coarse sea salt, put under pressure. Do not forget to put a plate under a colander – the eggplants will give juice, all the bitterness will come out of them.
  2. In the meantime, let’s get to the rest of the vegetables. To remove the skin from tomatoes, pierce them with a fork in several places, pour boiling water over them – the skin will come off much easier.

    Heat olive oil in a deep frying pan, fry finely chopped onions, add chopped tomatoes, garlic, basil, thyme, sugar, salt, and pepper to taste.
  3. Leave the tomatoes to simmer, uncovered, over low heat for at least half an hour.
  4. Heat the olive oil in two different pans. In the first, stew finely chopped peppers, in the second – eggplants previously peeled from salt. As soon as the vegetables are ready, transfer to a colander so that the glass will have excess oil.
  5. Add capers and wine vinegar to the stewed tomatoes.
  6. Then add the rest of the stews and black olives to the tomatoes. Simmer for another 15 minutes – and the ratatouille is ready for you! If the ratatouille is too oily, you can remove the excess oil with a spoon. Ratatouille can be eaten both cold and hot. It is especially good with white bread croutons and cold white currant wine.

Enjoy your meal!
