ZUCCHINI RATATOUILLE



Zucchini Ratatouille image

Traditional Niçoise Ratatouille is made with equal parts zucchini, eggplant, and sweet (usually red/yellow/orange) peppers. But it's zucchini season in Canada and I had a lot of forearm-sized zucchini from my father-in-law's garden to use up so I skipped the other veggies and tripled the zucchini for this recipe. I'm also a garlic-fiend so I've used about twice as much garlic as is traditional.

Time 1h30m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon olive oil
4 teaspoons garlic, minced
1 onion, large, diced
9 zucchini, medium, diced
1 (28 ounce) can tomatoes, diced
1 tablespoon rosemary, fresh, chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper

Steps:

  • Dégorger les légumes -- sprinkle coarse salt on the diced zucchini in a sieve, and let sit in the sink for 30 mins to drain them of excess water.
  • Heat olive oil over medium heat in a thick-bottomed, oven-proof, sauce pan (I use Le Creuset).
  • Add garlic and onions and sauté 5 minutes, or until garlic is just starting to brown (don't let it burn!).
  • Add zucchini; cover and cook until tender, stirring often, about 10 minutes.
  • Add tomatoes and rosemary; cover and simmer on low heat, stirring occasionally, at least 30 minutes to allow the flavours to integrate.
  • Uncover and simmer until excess water evaporates or add your favourite protein to the pan, cover, and bake it in the oven (see below).
  • Serve as a stew, side dish or sauce with your favourite protein, or my new favourite -- a filling for omelette. In the future, I am also going to try serving it for brunch with baked eggs by making 4 shallow indentations in the sauce, cracking 1 egg into each indentation, and baking at 400°F until eggs are softly set, about 10 minutes. I'd also like to try baking some chicken breast in it.

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 cloves garlic
1 onion
1 eggplant
1 bell pepper
1 yellow squash
1 zucchini
5 tomatoes
salt, to taste
½ teaspoon red pepper
2 teaspoons fresh thyme
2 tablespoons fresh parsley
2 tablespoons fresh basil
8 oz fresh mozzarella cheese, 1 ball
6 zucchinis, makes 12 boats

Steps:

  • Pour olive oil in a large pot, over medium-high heat. Sauté garlic and onions briefly, till aromatic. Add eggplant and cook down until softened and brown. Add bell pepper, yellow squash, zucchini and tomatoes to the mixture and reduce to simmer.
  • Stir so the vegetables are well mixed. When the vegetables are cooked through, incorporate thyme, parsley, and basil, then remove from the heat.
  • Cut zucchini in half, lengthwise, then scoop out the insides to form a boat shape. Line the bottom of the boat with sliced mozzarella, then top with the cooked ratatouille.
  • Bake the boat at 400˚F (200˚C) for 15 minutes or until the boat has softened and the tops are starting to brown. Serve immediately.
  • P.S. Leftover ratatouille is delicious on its own or with pasta.
  • Enjoy!
