ratatouille, not the movie
since i go to the farmers market twice a week, at times my fridge can be a little full of some sad looking produce. the remedy was alice water’s recipe for ratatouille, yes, i know dears, the animated movie is your only reference to this dish. now, thanks to me, you will have notion to make your own. this is a literal clean-out-the-fridge meal, i happened to have all the ingredients wilting away in my possession and it turned out delicious. i served my ratatouille with arkansas basmati rice. use this as an outline, recipes are not carved in stone. cut eggplant into the bite size pieces, salt and place in a colander to drain in the sink for 20 minutes. i used mini japanese eggplants, cut length ways in half. diced onion, i used mini leeks. peppers, i used a mix of tiny green bell, a large sweet italian and 1 tiny hot red pepper. zucchini/squash, i used 2 small green zucchini and 2 tiny green and 1 tiny white patty pan squash. 3-5 tomatoes, i used a mix of green and red heirloom and a handful of cherry tomatoes. after salting and draining the eggplant, pat dry with a few paper towels and sauté in olive oil until golden. remove from pan. sauté the onions until tender about 7 minutes, add peppers and sauté for about 5 minutes, add 4-6 cloves of finely minced garlic and sauté for less than a minute. add diced tomatoes and cook for 10 minutes on medium heat add the eggplant and cook for another 15 minutes. top with a drizzle of olive oil and perhaps a splash or balsamic vinegar. this is a fabu side dish, say, served with some baked chicken or a fabu meal, served with rice or a grain. yeah, that’s right.
