Ingredients You Need for Gordon Ramsay Ratatouille

• 1 medium eggplant, sliced thin
• 1 zucchini, sliced thin
• 1 yellow squash, sliced thin
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced thin
• 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced thin
• 2 medium tomatoes, sliced thin
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 cup tomato sauce
• Fresh basil leaves for garnish

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). This ensures even cooking for the vegetables and brings out their natural flavors.

2. Prepare the Tomato Sauce

In a small saucepan, heat olive oil. Add minced garlic and cook for one minute. Stir in tomato sauce, salt, pepper and thyme. Simmer for 5 minutes.

3. Prepare the Vegetables

Slice eggplant, zucchini, yellow squash, bell peppers and tomatoes thinly. Try to make the slices even for uniform cooking.

4. Arrange the Vegetables

In a large baking dish, spread a layer of tomato sauce on the bottom. Arrange the vegetable slices in alternating colors for a beautiful pattern.

5. Season the Vegetables

Drizzle olive oil over the arranged vegetables. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and additional thyme for flavor.

6. Cover and Bake

Cover the dish with aluminum foil. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. This allows the vegetables to cook slowly and absorb flavors.

7. Remove Foil and Continue Baking

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes. This helps the top layer of vegetables to roast slightly and enhances the flavor.

8. Garnish and Serve

Remove the ratatouille from the oven. Let it cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves for aroma and color before serving.

Recipe Tips

• Slice vegetables evenly for uniform cooking.
• Use fresh herbs for better aroma.
• Layer vegetables tightly for beautiful presentation.
• Do not overcook; vegetables should stay slightly firm.
• Use olive oil for a rich, smooth taste.
