Ratatoullie



Actually one day Mr. Riaz came home with all of these veggies. He said someone gave them to him and to my oldest brother in law to take home for his wife. However what was left was for the recipe for this post. I had to go shop for the rest of the ingredients because an idea popped up in my head that I am going to try to make ratatoullie. I looked it up and I said Oh my God this is so easy. I got the rest of the veggies I needed and French bread along with brie cheese which is French for this dinner.
However in the picture you will see a white eggplant. Mr. Riaz and I haven’t seen one before and it tastes just like a regular eggplant, it is damned delicious. However the norm is the purple one or regular eggplant. There was red and green tomatoes in there too and also grape tomatoes as well. I am going to give you a list down below so you will not get confused. Please check out the comparison photo above. You will find it interesting.
You will need 1 large or medium eggplant, 2 small or 6 baby eggplants, 2 Italian yellow squash and or zucchinis. I added both and this is ok too. You will have to get 1 container of grape or cherry tomatoes, 1 container of either button mushrooms or creminis. I used cremini mushrooms. I had mini sweet peppers in my freezer. The yield of mini sweet peppers is 6 or use 1 large bell pepper, 4 cloves of garlic, 1 each of red and green tomato, 4 cloves of garlic, 1 onion or shallot and you will need a half can of roma tomatoes along with their juice.
Deseed and rough chop the peppers and please do not peel the vegetables. The nutrients is at a complete loss and it will taste yucky. So please keep the skins on. Wash and rough chop the rest too. Peel and rough chop the onions or shallots along with the garlic though.
Grind 1 pinch of peppercorns in mortar and pestle. Turn the instant pot or another multi functional cooker on sauté for 4 minutes. Add 1 oz of either olive or grapeseed oil, 1 pinch of pine nuts and let brown a little then add the onion or shallot and garlic.
It isn’t necessary to brown the onion or shallot and garlic but if you want to you can. Add the peppercorns you ground along with 1 pinch each of pink salt, rosemary, basil, oregano, marjaroam, thyme, savory and stir. Add the rest of the vegetables you have prepped, stir and add 1 bay leaf, 3 dashes of either wine or balsamic vinegar, 1/2 cup of water and stir. by this time the instant pot would shut off.
When it is hot when on sauté method it starts counting down and turns off automaticlly. In case press cancel and turn on slow cook on high for 3 1/2 hours. Please do not forget the 1/2 can of roma tomatoes before you start slow cooking. Serve with French bread. I got a bagette. If you can’t find this then Italian bread will do just fine. Fromage cheese is a French cheese like brie and also is very creamy. I had this one recently. These get served with ratatoullie. Enjoy this delicious vegetable dish like we did.
