Ratatouille



I bought some Zucchini and had ratatouille in my mind. I always wanted to make this since I watched Disney's Ratatouille. Shopping and cooking using ingredients I've never used is my new hobby!

I googled for recipe and decided to try Chef Wan's version (adapted from 'From the Garden to the Kitchen). It's simple as compared to the other recipes. (I found a recipe of traditional ratatouille too! It requires some work, but I'll try them someday).

Ratatouille 


1/2 zucchini 
1/2 eggplant cut into small cubes
1/2 red capsicums (I used 3 colors capsicum)
15 black/green olives (I discarded this)
1 large onion chopped
4 garlic, minced
A handful of fresh "Herb de Provence" 
3 tomatoes diced
2 tbsp tomato paste
1/2 cup olive oil 


1. Heat oil. Fry garlic, onion and sweat all vegetables.
2. Add chopped tomatoes, paste and "Herb de Provence".
3. Season with salt and pepper and stew the vegetable for another 25 minutes on low heat.

  2. I love olives too! The reason why I discarded them was because I was out of olives :)
