ratatouille

i did it! I finally made ratatouille! after all these years of eating my mums, i had to make it myself, cause she's not here to do it for me. :(

ratatouille jade style

2 brown onions

1 heaped tsp crushed garlic

tin diced tomatoes

1 medium gold sweet potato

4 medium sized potatoes 

3 capsicums (i used red, green & yellow)

1 zucchini

vegetable oil

1 tablespoon rosemary paste

preheat oven to 200 deg celcius, cut potatoes, sweet potato, capsicum and zucchini into 1cm thick slices, pour in some vegetable oil and roll in oil and rosemary. bake for about an hour until vegetables are soft and capsicum starts to blacken on edges. turn vegetables after half an hour. 

in a frypan, cook sliced onions and garlic until softened and then add tinned tomatoes and roasted vegetables.

serve over brown rice. 

mum always made this when i was younger, much to my brothers disgust... they would always tease mum and look for the meat. haha. i am sure it would taste amazing with chicken strips or beef stirred through... but as i always learnt from my mum, recipes are whatever you want to make them... imagination is the key, and this dish was certainly no exception. it's often had eggplant in it in our house and other vegetables that happened to be in the fridge. but yummm. i will definitely be making it again! :)
