My take on ratatouille

I didn’t have all / enough of the traditional ingredients for a ratatouille so I decided to make one up using what I had. I was really pleased with the result. I think the quality tinned tomatoes are key as they give the whole thing a bit of natural sweetness. The breadcrumb topping is most definitely optional and very non traditional but it was a delicious extra.

Steps
- 1
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees c and Add the chopped courgette and aubergine to a roasting try with the thyme, a pinch of salt and pepper and lightly coat in olive oil. Roast for 20 minutes, turning half way through to prevent sticking.

Meanwhile make the tomato sauce by adding the finely chopped onion to a tbsp olive oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. Cook until soft. Then add the garlic and cook for another minute before adding any fresh tomatoes and the chopped peppers. Cook for 3 mins
- 3
Add the tinned tomatoes to the pan and simmer for another 10 minutes. Don’t forget about the oven roasted veg which can be removed from the oven when soft. Returning to your sauce, add the balsamic vinegar and season to taste. Cook until the sharpness of the vinegar has gone.

Now assemble the ratatouille by transferring the roasted veg into a smaller roasting tin / dish, sprinkling over the torn basil leaves, adding the tomato mix on top and then sprinkling with breadcrumbs and finally Parmesan.
