Ratatouille

I had made this few times and still in love with that dish.

Yea, I DID watched the movie, Ratatouille more than 1 times and told myself I really need to make this dish. Not only from that movie but I was looking at the library book that I loaned years ago which it was about how to grow your own garden and cook with it. My eyes happens to get the glimpse of the recipe of Ratatouille.

There are many different ways to make for just only one dish. So I adjusted to make it more simpler and more flavorful to dine in. Even I added the carrots and cilantro on it. Be creative with it.

Here's the recipe:

1 small eggplant, peeled and diced or quartered
1 zucchini, peeled and diced or halved
1 small onion, diced
3 cloves of garlic, thinly sliced
3 or 4 tomatoes, diced or quartered

In the skillet, cook the onions and garlic along with the olive oil like 1/4 cup or less. Cook until the onions become opaque and transparent. Add the eggplants and zucchini and cook for extra 5 minutes or until the eggplants becomes little soft. Add the tomatoes and cook for extra 5 min until it becomes wilted.

I added carrots myself- you can do that if you want to. Sprinkle it on the top with chopped basil and parsley.

I usually squeezed one lemon on the eggplants/zucchini before I put it to cook to prevent any browns and more flavor on it. I sprinkle it with salt and pepper too.

You can add little bit of salt/pepper after it's done cooking for more taste if you want to.
