Life is good.

Another bright beautiful Sunday with some off site adventures, trials on charcoal grilling, and just the general continuation of positive vibes. I have a lot of ideas brewing, cool things happening and tons I want to write about! Time to make some time for this old blog and bring you guys some tasty food while I'm at it!

Ratatouille Means lots of Vegetables

My mind is afire with images of thinly sliced veggies arranged in a skillet as I sit here this morning recovering from a long hard weekend of second shooting an 8 hour wedding, catching up on the mountain bike race I missed yesterday, and getting excited about everything that I have to do today. It's summertime, baby, Zucchinis are piling up in everyone's gardens, and life is good. This Ratatouille is going to be perfect to showcase the season's bounty.

I do have to mention the wedding, it was hard work, yes. But it was a blast. Seriously, there were dinosaur bones! This Girl Carnivore was ecstatic! The whole affair was a privilege to be a part of. Oh, and they partied like it was 1999.

This Recipe is simple to prepare

Ratatouille sounds complicated. Or, if you're 6, makes you think of a rodent that is hiding under a chef's hat. This recipe is neither. Slice up some vegetables as thin as you can (I used a mandolin) and arrange them over tomato sauce. Put it in the oven and forget about it for a while. Have some appetizers, or if the Ratatouille isn't the star of your show (it should be) get the rest of your feast ready. It has about 45 minutes to simmer along before it is ready, and your kitchen will smell magical the entire time.

Who's excited for Ratatouille?

I know I am. Once you have seen how simple and beautiful this recipe is, you're going to add it into your "cook to impress" rotation. Yeah, they'll think you've been sneaking off to culinary school on the side.

I am a firm believer that you can't have too many vegetables (even if I do curate an entirely meat based site).  Try these out to get some veggie goodness into your diet!

Serves: 1 recipe

Equipment

  • Le Creuset Signature Iron Handle Skillet, 11-¾-Inch, Cerise (Cherry Red)
  • Mandoline Slicer for Home and Professional Use - Vegetable Slicer with Razor Sharp Blades that Do Not Require Maintenance
  • Filippo Berio Extra Virgin Olive Oil, 101.4 Ounce

Ingredients

  • ½ cup red marina sauce or tomato puree
  • 2 garlic cloves - minced
  • ½ small onion - finely minced
  • salt and pepper
  • 2 tbs olive oil - divided
  • 1 small eggplant
  • 1 yellow squash
  • 1 zucchini
  • 1 large red pepper - carefully cored and seasoned
  • handful fresh thyme

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Spoon the tomato sauce in a baking dish or pan and combine the garlic, onion, 1 tbs olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and smooth out.
  • Cut the edges from the veggies and using a mandolin (and safety skills) slice the veggies into thin rounds.
  • Artfully arrange the veggies, slightly overlapping one another in a pattern in your prepared pan starting at the outer edges and working your way in. (Pro tip! I used an upside down spoon, leaning against the edge of the pan, to prop everything into to place. Made those last few layers super easy to snuggle in).
  • Drizzle remaining olive oil over top. Season with salt, pepper and thyme. Cover the dish with parchment paper or aluminum foil and bake 45 to 50 minutes, until tomato sauce is bubbling around the edges.
  • Let cool 5 minutes and serve.

    What a pretty way to serve a vegetable dish! I'm so glad your wedding photography is going well. I already told my sister (she isn't even engaged yet) that she should hire you when she gets married:-)

    Beautiful! I love anything that comes out of a happy-busy skillet.
    My poor bike haven't been used in ages; I think it still has a wicker basket attached to the front. :p Maybe it's time to take it for a spin and jazz up a lethargic Pilates routine.

    Delicious! Although mine wasn't as pretty as yours.

    My vegetables had a tough skin, I was a bit late picking them, so they got peeled. I also picked an assortment of fresh herbs to put over the top of the dish.
