RATATOUILLE

I found a great recipe for Ratatouille on tasty.co.

I have to be honest with you…I never knew what ratatouille was until I saw the 2007 Pixar animated movie about a rat that wants to be a chef. Great movie, by the way!

I have one son who is vegetarian so when he comes for dinner, I have to use my imagination to not keep making the same old things for him.

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
2. Slice the eggplant, tomatoes, squash, and zucchini into approximately 1/16 inch rounds, then set aside.
3. Make the sauce: heat the olive oil in a 12- inch oven-safe pan over medium-high heat. Sauté the onion, garlic, and bell peppers until soft, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then add the crushed tomatoes. Stir until the ingredients are fully incorporated. Remove from heat, then add the basil. Stir once more, then smooth the surface of the sauce with a spatula.
4. Arrange the sliced veggies in alternating patterns (eggplant, tomato, squash, zucchini) on top of the sauce from the outer edge to the middle of the pan. Season with salt and pepper.
5. Make the herb seasoning: In a small bowl, mix together the basil, garlic, parsley, thyme, salt, pepper, and olive oil. Spoon the herb seasoning over the vegetables.
6. Cover the pan with foil and bake for 40 minutes. Uncover, then bake for 20 minutes, until the vegetables are softened.
7. Serve while hot as a main dish or side. ENJOY!
