Most everyone in my family enjoys ratatoille. Well okay only me and my mom really enjoy it but that’s because my older sister Abby hates any squash and Adom only enjoys making it he doesn’t enjoy the taste. Any how what does a 10-year-old know?
The recipe is follwed bellow but first a slew of pictures from me making the ratatouille and from tonights’ thanksgiving!
my pies where supposed to have extra cooked dough decorations but i forgot about them and they burned so i couldn’t use them, oh well.
Anyways I would like to tell you all what I am thankful for which is in no specific order because I’m really sleepy): My mom, my sister, my brother, my dad, all my wonderful pets, my close familyfriends, pumpkin pie, martinelli’s kiddie bubbly, food,…. this list will go on and on for ever so i’ll stop here.
Ratatouille
inspired by Racheal Ray here and Deb over at the Smitten Kitchen.
1 jar of roasted red bell peppers sliced (keep the JUICE)
1 reg size of diced tomatoes
1 small onion
2 cloves of garlic
2 zuchinis
2 med or 3 small yellow squash
3 med idaho potatoes or about 6 red potatoes
1 small eggplant or 2 japanese eggplant
1 bell pepper any color (i like to take one each of red, yellow/orange, or green bell peppers and save what’s left for mom’s fajitas)
Salt and pepper
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Slice zuchini, squash, eggplant and bell peppers and set aside.
In a medium sautee pan sweat the onion and garlic. Then add the sliced roasted bell peppers and diced tomatoes and cook until all the pepers are nice and hot. Pour/dump pan into blender or food processor and blend till well blended, set aside.
Slice the potatoes.
Pour half the bell pepper mixture into a 9×13 baking dish (ours is mostly used for this, cakes, and brownies YUM!) then layer the veggies standing up son only part of it is in the sauce. Once the dish is full pour the rest of the mixture over it. Cover dish with parchment paper. NOT WAX and bake for 1 hour, or until the potatoes are fully cooked.
You will have a delicious meal and lots of left over veggies. This dish does reheat extremely well in the microwave. Try different items to serve it over, like a bed of cous cous or pasta or mashed potatoes, or a baked potatoe, or on a fried egg or even on scrambled eggs the list is endless! Enjoy!!!
