Provided by Jacques Pepin

Categories     dinner, weekday, side dish

Time 14m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 tomatoes, very ripe, about 2 1/2 pounds
1 cup lightly packed parsley leaves
4 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
4 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Remove and discard stems from the tomatoes and cut in half crosswise (parallel to stem end). Chop the parsley and garlic together to make persillade. There should be 1/2 cup.
  • Preheat oven to 250 degrees.
  • In each of two heavy skillets heat about 1 tablespoon of the oil until very hot. Put the tomatoes cut side down in the skillets and cook over high heat about 2 minutes, covered, until the tomatoes soften slightly. Arrange the tomatoes cut side up in a gratin dish suitable for serving. Sprinkle with the pepper and salt.
  • To the drippings in the pan add the remainder of the oil and the persillade. Mix 10 to 15 seconds to cook slightly; divide equally and spread on top of the tomatoes. Put the tomatoes in the warm oven for a few minutes before serving. If the tomatoes must wait 30 minutes or more before being served, saute as directed and keep warm in a 180-degree oven, but don't add the persillade until serving time.

Tips:

  • Select ripe, flavorful tomatoes: Use the best quality tomatoes you can find, as they will make all the difference in the final dish.
  • Use a variety of tomatoes: For a more complex flavor, use a mix of different types of tomatoes, such as cherry, Roma, and heirloom.
  • Roast the tomatoes: Roasting the tomatoes concentrates their flavor and gives them a slightly smoky taste.
  • Make the tomato sauce ahead of time: The tomato sauce can be made up to 3 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator. This makes it a great option for busy weeknights.
  • Serve the dish immediately: Ratatouille is best served fresh out of the oven, but it can also be made ahead of time and reheated.
