RATATOUILLE (MOOSEWOOD COOKBOOK)
This Provençal Vegetable Stew is a delicious medley vegetables, tomatoes, and herbs. Served on a bed of rice, or with some fresh chewy bread for soaking up the yummy juices, you really can't go wrong with this stuff. Growing up, my mom made this often, calling it 'vegetable medley' (probably because the name ratatouille would scare us kids off). This recipe comes from the Moosewood Cookbook - the original one, written by Mollie Katzen, and probably my most favourite cookbook of all time. It's often considered Mediterranean, however it's roots are in France.

SHEET-PAN RATATOUILLE WITH GOAT CHEESE AND OLIVES
Cooking ratatouille on a sheet pan in the oven isn't just easier than cooking it in a pot on the stove, it's also better: richer and more deeply caramelized in flavor. To make it, the vegetables are slicked with plenty of olive oil, then roasted until tender and browned, their juices mingling and condensing. Toward the end of the cooking time, goat cheese and olives are sprinkled on top. The cheese melts and becomes creamy, while the olives heat up and turn plump and tangy. Serve this as a meatless main dish, with crusty bread and more goat cheese, or as a hearty side dish to a simple roast chicken or fish.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 425 degrees, and arrange two racks in the top and bottom thirds.
- On one rimmed 13-by-17-inch sheet pan, toss together onion slices, zucchini, 1/4 cup oil, 3 thyme springs, 2 rosemary sprigs, 3 garlic cloves and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- On a second rimmed baking sheet, toss together eggplant, red peppers, 1/4 cup oil, 3 thyme sprigs, 2 rosemary sprig, 3 garlic cloves and 3/4 teaspoon salt.
- Place one tray on the top rack, and a second on the bottom rack of the oven. Roast both for 40 minutes, stirring vegetables two or three times.
- Add tomatoes to the baking sheet with eggplant and peppers, then continue to roast until the tomatoes burst and the zucchini turn deeply golden brown, another 20 to 25 minutes. The vegetables will become very caramelized, and that's a good thing, particularly with the zucchini and onions.
- Transfer zucchini and onions to the baking sheet with eggplant, mix well, and spread in an even layer (it will just fit). Drizzle vegetables with another 1 tablespoon oil, then sprinkle goat cheese and olives over the top. Roast until goat cheese is soft and warmed through, 5 to 10 minutes.
- Transfer vegetables to a serving platter, drizzle with a little more oil and squeeze juice from the one of the lemon wedges over the top. Garnish with basil leaves. Serve hot or warm, with more lemon wedges on the side.
Tips:
- Use fresh, ripe vegetables. This will ensure the best flavor and texture in your ratatouille. Aim to get organic vegetables for the best taste.
- Cut the vegetables evenly. This will help them cook evenly and create a more visually appealing dish.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. If you add too many vegetables to the pan, they will steam instead of sautéing. Cook the vegetables in batches if necessary.
- Season the vegetables well. Salt, pepper, and garlic are all essential seasonings for ratatouille. You can also add other herbs and spices to taste, like thyme, basil, or oregano.
- Simmer the ratatouille for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop. You can also cook it for longer if you want a more浓郁 flavor.
- Serve ratatouille hot or cold. Ratatouille is a versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a main course, a side dish, or an appetizer. It's also great for picnics and potlucks.
Conclusion:
Ratatouille is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's a great way to use up fresh vegetables and it's also a healthy and satisfying meal. With its vibrant colors and delicious flavors, ratatouille is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
