Ratatouille
Untried and vibrant ratatouille
You can’t fail to have noticed there’s a lot of hop lamb in the shops right now and one of the nicest accompaniments to lamb is ratatouille so fancy as it’s made well.
But the chances are your experience of this notable Mediterranean dish may have been a gloopy screw-up consisting of slimy aubergines and soggy courgettes which is enough to put you off for entity! If this is the case, I hope I can persuade you into trying my altogether healthier, quicker and easier understanding.
Where people tend go wrong with ratatouille is by using too much oil in the frying procedure - aubergines will soak it up like a sponge - and then go on to overcook the vegetables until they become pulpy. In the main it’s the fault of the recipe they’re following which more often than not suggests cooking the vegetables for around an hour.
In my rather uncustomary recipe all the vegetables are baked loosely in a hot oven so they remain crisp, colourful and today's tasting (apart from the soft, joyful aubergines that is!) Another plus is this method is less untiring because you don’t have to stand at the stove frying everything in batches. I do security you give it a go…
