Ratatouille

written by Claire Grech October 3, 2017

The Ratatouille is a very popular dish not only in France. This dish originates from the city of Nice in Provence. A simple recipe with fresh vegetables sautéed in the pan and then baked in the oven. Enjoy preparing this tasty recipe.

Ratatouille is a traditional Provençal dish, originating in Nice. This dish is very popular on the Mediterranean coast as an easy summer dish. However, it can also be served as a side in any season. For today's recipe, I'm suggesting an easier option, that is to skip sautéeing the vegetables and layering them straight into the baking dish over some tomato sauce. So, let's not waste any more time and get on with today's recipe.

Méthode / Method

Lavez tous les légumes. Coupez les aubergines en cercles. Salez les et laissez les dégorger pendant 10 minutes. Puis séchez soigneusement.


Wash all the vegetables. Slice the aubergines. Put salt and let disgorge for 10 minutes. Then dry well.

Épluchez et coupez en cercles les oignons. Coupez aussi les poivrons et les tomates en cercles et hachez l'ail finement.


Peel and cut the onions in circles. Chop also the peppers and two of the tomatoes in circles and finely chop the garlic.

Faites une sauce aux tomates pour se répandre au fond du four. Ajoutez la poivre, sel et basilic aux tomates. Couchez les légumes en tranches sur le dessus. Ajoutez l'ail en tranches, le persil frais et le basilic. Faites goutter de l'huile d'olive et ajoutez le vin blanc. Couvrez avec du papier d'aluminium et cuisinez pendant 45 minutes à 180ºc.


Make a tomato sauce to spread at the bottom of the oven dish. Add pepper, salt and basil to the sauce. Layer the sliced vegetables on top. Add the sliced garlic, fresh parsley and basil. Drizzle some olive oil and add the white wine. Cover with foil and cook for 45 minutes on 180ºc.

This dish is such a fantastic idea to have as a side with chicken or fish and some roasted potatoes. After finishing preparing this wonderful dish, go on today's lesson - the verbs Être and Avoir.
