Rough & Ready Ratatouille

John A

A family favourite, devised by my wife many years ago. Note the absence of basil, a normal ratatouille ingredient, as I do not like the taste of aniseed - but add it if you do. Wine vinegar is also an often-used ingredient but not in this recipe.

We like our peppers, etc quite chunky and crunchy so cook accordingly.

This can served with various principal ingredients: tonight it will be will served hot with pan-fried duck breasts and reheated tomorrow to accompany fillet steaks. For both meals there will be new potatoes, sautéed with a little rosemary, and fine beans.

I use fresh, locally-sourced and seasonal ingredients wherever possible and seek to avoid food waste with my “Use-up” recipes. #WastenotWantnotMy wife and I love travelling and exploring different cuisines but never under-estimate traditional British cooking: every country has something to offer, including in the field of home cooking.
