ACADIA'S RATATOUILLE



Acadia's Ratatouille image

We love ratatouille! I usually have an abundance of zucchini and yellow squash in my garden, however, this year since we received so much rain the zucchini & squash crop was poor. So I have been force to buy my ingredients. For my family's taste, I omit the red pepper flakes and salt as the canned tomatoes have enough salt in them, however if you choose to use fresh tomatoes I would add the salt.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, in-season vegetables. This will ensure the best flavor and texture.
  • Cut the vegetables into uniform pieces. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. If the vegetables are too crowded, they will steam instead of sautéing and will not brown properly.
  • Cook the vegetables in batches if necessary. If you have a lot of vegetables, cook them in batches so that they don't overcrowd the pan.
  • Season the vegetables well. Use salt, pepper, and any other herbs or spices that you like.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables. They should be tender but still have a slightly firm texture.
  • Serve the ratatouille immediately. It is best enjoyed fresh out of the pan.

Conclusion:

Ratatouille is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a main course or a side dish. It is also a great way to use up leftover vegetables. With its colorful ingredients and flavorful sauce, ratatouille is a surefire crowd-pleaser. So next time you're looking for a healthy and delicious meal, give ratatouille a try.
