A French classic and perfect for vegans – Ratatouille
Ratatouille Recipe
This ratatouille recipe takes no time prepare and looks beautiful! It’s also very healthy, vegetarian and gluten free.
Ratatouille is a very simple dish that pairs well with other French classics like hamburgers and buttery sauteed mushrooms. The ingredients for this are straight forward too; chopped zucchini, eggplant, onion and a couple of tomatoes, all thrown into a pot et voila! The olive oil will add a really subtle flavor and let the veggies shine. Ratatouille can be so comforting on a cold winter’s night or refreshing when served with a crisp glass of white wine (oh oui, like you’re somewhere in the south of France in a backyard, having great conversations with good friends). This is an even more simplified version of ratatouille; I don’t even bother boiling and peeling the tomato skins, they don’t disturb the dish at all.
