Ratatouille 🍆 🍅 🌶️ 

Such a staple September dish! Makes use of all the seasonal veggies 😋 

- a can of diced tomatoes
- 1 red onion 
- garlic - 3 cloves
- 1-2 aubergines
- 1-2 zuccinis
- 3 tomatoes
- 4 bell peppers
- pesto - 150 gr (store bought or homemade)

1. Prepare a tomato sauce - fry onions cut into half rings, add crushed garlic and canned tomatoes. Reduce a bit, season to taste (I always add italian herbs and sugar).

2. Cut bell peppers into quarters. Grill them in an oven skin up on 180° for 10-15 min, until the skins turn black. Then put them in a bowl and cover with a lid, wait for them to cool a bit and then peel the skins off.

3. Cut aubergines, zuccinis and tomatoes in circles about 0.5 cm thick. 

4. Take a rectangular baking dish, pour the tomato sauce in and lay out the veggie pieces - aubergine first, then zuccini, tomato and pepper. Repeat until there is no more space. Salt them and spread the pesto on top. 

5. Roast on 180° for about an hour until soft. 

Bon appetit!

I like both the dish and the cartoon of the same name. They take me back to my childhood
