Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Make the purée: In a medium pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat until it begins to shimmer. Add the onion, sweet potato, potato, apple, thyme, and salt. Sauté for 8-10 minutes, until the vegetables begin to release their juices and soften.
- Add ½ cup (120 ml) of vegetable stock and cover the pan. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for 20-25 minutes, until the vegetables are completely softened. Remove the pot from the heat.
- Remove the thyme stems and discard. Add the remaining ¼ cup (60 ml) of vegetable stock and, using an immersion blender, blend until completely smooth. Season with more salt to taste.
- Spread the purée over the bottom of an 10-inch (25 cm) cast iron skillet. Arrange the orange sweet potatoes, yellow potatoes, purple sweet potatoes, delicata squash, and apple slices in an alternating pattern on top, working from the outside in. Drizzle the olive oil over the top and season with the salt, pepper, and thyme.
- Cover the pan with foil and bake the ratatouille for 30 minutes, then uncover and bake for another 20-25 minutes, until the vegetables are softened and starting to brown.
- Drizzle the ratatouille with more olive oil to taste. Serve warm.
- Enjoy!

RATATOUILLE WITH SAUSAGE
"We've enjoyed this hearty and flavorful dish for years," relates Diane Halferty of Tuscon, Arizona. "I concocted it when we lived on a large farm and had lots of fresh veggies and sausage available." In a pinch, prepared spaghetti sauce can be used in place of the fresh tomatoes, she suggests.

AUTUMN RATATOUILLE
Almost every weekend, I make ratatouille to clean up all vegetables in my refrigerator, and the vegetables I use change by season. In autumn, my ratatouille becomes yellow because of the color of squash and pumpkin. I love the color so much. It's a Japanese sytle to add a little bit soy sauce to finish.

RATATOUILLE WITH ITALIAN SAUSAGE

- Food Trivia
- Everyone has their own version of how to cut an onion without crying. I'm not convinced that any of them work, but the most popular versions seem to be: 1) freeze the onions for half an hour before chopping; 2) peel them under running water; 3) don't slice the onion root, which releases the strongest fumes; 4) breathe through your nose while chopping. And we can't forget to include holding a piece of bread in your mouth as you chop, although I suggest you try this one when no one else is around.
- VEG OUT
- Do I even have to say you can leave out the Italian sausage?
Tips:
- Use fresh or frozen vegetables for the best flavor and texture. If using frozen vegetables, thaw them completely before cooking.
- Choose a smoked sausage that you enjoy the flavor of. Andouille, kielbasa, and chorizo are all good options.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the vegetables. This will help them to cook evenly and prevent them from steaming.
- Season the vegetables liberally with salt, pepper, and herbs. This will help to enhance their flavor.
- Simmer the ratatouille for at least 30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
Conclusion:
Autumn ratatouille with smoked sausage is a hearty and flavorful dish that is perfect for a cool fall day. The combination of tender vegetables, smoky sausage, and rich tomato sauce is sure to please everyone at the table. Serve it with a side of rice or crusty bread for a complete meal.
