Ratatouille

This is a really easy to make dish that has a multitude of uses. It can be eaten as is with just some bread, made into various sauces for pasta, added to lasagna and other baked dishes as well as being a great side dish. It is several of your 5 a day  (depending on how large a serving you have). It's ingredients are variable depending on how much you have and what is in season. I realise that none of these are currently in season but sometimes you need a bit of sunshine in your life and this dish has bucketloads of it. Roast these at 180 degrees as you don't want the veg becoming soggy and tasteless but do remember that undercooked aubergine is disgusting.

To make about 10 portions you need:
  • 4 peppers (I used 1 green, 1 yellow and 2 red)
  • 4 red onions
  • 2 white onions
  • 2 aubergines
  • 3 courgettes 
  • 5 tomatoes
  • oregano
  • olive oil
Chop everything up into bite sized pieces, drizzle generously with olive oil, add a decent amount of oregano, season, and mix. It will look a bit like this.


After roasting for about 30 mins it should be done.
