INSTANT POT® RATATOUILLE PASTA
Consider this dish a problem-solving variation on a classic. Ratatouille is a richly-seasoned, but not heavy, French vegetable stew featuring tomatoes, bell peppers, zucchini and more summer vegetables. The trouble is that those veggies are at their best during a season when it's too hot to stew anything. That's why this recipe is so ingenious. It puts the Instant Pot® to good use, so your kitchen can stay cool. Not only that, but this recipe turns this classic side into a hearty main dish with the addition of pasta. If you've yet to try making a one-pot pasta in your machine, you're about to be wowed. The Instant Pot® sauté function makes it easy to overcome one of the trickiest aspects of making ratatouille: cooking a variety of vegetables-each with different ideal cook times-perfectly. Onions and peppers get softened with a quick sauté before being combined with softer vegetables and pasta to pressure cook. The end result is a silky-smooth and absolutely delectable vegetarian dish that will satisfy everyone-avowed carnivores included!

Steps:
- 1. In a food processor, combine the cashews with the nutritional yeast and water and process to a fine paste. Transfer the paste to a bowl, stir in the olives and season with salt and pepper. 2. Light a grill. Brush the eggplant slices (there should be about 24) with olive oil and grill over moderately high heat, turning once, until tender and lightly charred, 2 to 3 minutes. Arrange the eggplant on a work surface and season with salt and pepper. Spoon 1 tablespoon of the cashew filling onto one end of each eggplant slice. Roll into tight cylinders. Cover with plastic wrap. 3. Brush all of the vegetables with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill the vegetables in batches until tender and lightly charred, about 3 minutes for the tomatoes and 6 minutes for the onions, peppers, eggplant and zucchini. Transfer the grilled tomatoes to a blender and puree until smooth. 4. Peel, seed and dice the peppers and chop the onions. Add them to a large deep skillet along with the 2 tablespoons of oil and the garlic, bay leaf, thyme and oregano. Cook over moderately high heat until tender, 5 minutes. Add the wine and boil until evaporated, 2 minutes. Add the tomato puree and water, season with salt and pepper and simmer until the sauce is slightly reduced, 15 minutes. Cut the eggplant and zucchini into 1/2-inch pieces; add to the skillet. Simmer 10 minutes longer. Discard the bay leaf and stir in the basil. 5. Spoon the ratatouille into shallow bowls and top with the involtini. Spoon a dollop of harissa on top and serve right away. Make Ahead The involtini and ratatouille can be refrigerated separately for up to 2 days.
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The fresher the vegetables, the better the ratatouille will taste. Look for ripe, colorful eggplant, zucchini, and tomatoes.
- Cut the vegetables evenly: This will help them cook evenly in the pressure cooker.
- Brown the vegetables before cooking: This step adds flavor and depth to the ratatouille.
- Use a flavorful cooking liquid: The cooking liquid will add flavor to the ratatouille, so use a flavorful broth or stock. You can also add white wine or red wine for a richer flavor.
- Cook the ratatouille on high pressure for 10 minutes: This will cook the vegetables through without overcooking them.
- Let the ratatouille cool slightly before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld together.
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 fresh summer vegetables. The pressure cooker makes it easy to cook ratatouille quickly and easily. With just a few simple ingredients and steps, you can have a delicious and healthy ratatouille on the table in no time.
