Préparation
1
Wash all the fresh vegetables. Dice the eggplant, zucchini, and bell peppers into 1-inch cubes. Dice the onion and mince the garlic.
2
Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until it softens and becomes translucent, which usually takes about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
3
Add the cubed eggplant, zucchini, and bell peppers to the pot. Stir everything well to coat the vegetables with the oil and aromatic flavors. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, for 10-15 minutes, allowing the vegetables to slightly soften and release some of their moisture.
4
Pour in the canned diced tomatoes, including their juice. Add the dried basil, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Stir all the ingredients together thoroughly.
5
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it cook for 20-25 minutes, or until all the vegetables are tender and the flavors have melded together. Stir occasionally to prevent anything from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
6
Taste the Ratatouille and adjust the seasonings if needed, adding more salt, pepper, or herbs to your preference. Serve warm as a standalone main course or as a flavorful side dish.
