We made this recipe credited to Mark Bittman that was published in the April/May 2013 "Vegetarian Times" and really enjoyed it. My friend and I topped ours with parmesan. We used fresh thyme and the Roma tomatoes. The recipe indicates that the dish will keep for several days in the fridge or several months in the freezer.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your ratatouille will taste. Look for ripe, colorful vegetables and herbs.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When sautéing the vegetables, make sure you don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and becoming soggy.
  • Cook the vegetables in stages: The different vegetables in ratatouille have different cooking times. Cook the denser vegetables, like eggplant and zucchini, first, and then add the more delicate vegetables, like tomatoes and bell peppers.
  • Season to taste: Taste the ratatouille as you cook it and adjust the seasoning as needed. You may need to add more salt, pepper, or herbs.
  • Let the ratatouille rest before serving: Once the ratatouille is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
