ZUCCHINI "RATATOUILLE"



Zucchini

While not true ratatouille, my son jokingly calls it that. For those of us who planted too much, this dish is a fantastic way to use up those prolific zucchini. Serve sprinkled with Parmesan cheese. Serve it with polenta for a filling meatless meal. It is great reheated for a quick lunch.

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.

Ratatouille is a fancy way of indicating that these zucchini boats are filled with super-tasty veggies. Baked until golden brown, they're see-worthy, too!
