Ratatouille

As you know, we’re big fans of making food that can be frozen and used in a variety of ways. One of our current favorites is ratatouille.

For our ratatouille, we used:

  • 2 onions
  • 1 large eggplant
  • 2 14 oz cans of diced tomatoes
  • 2 large zucchini or 1 zucchini and 1 winter squash
  • 2 red peppers
  • handful of chopped basil (frozen or fresh)
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 4 cloves crushed garlic (frozen or fresh)

Dice all the ingredients, except the tomatoes, which already are.

Heat up your pan with several tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.

Put the onions and garlic in the pan and cook until the onions are transparent (about 5-7 minutes).

Add the tomatoes, oregano, basil, and a good amount of black pepper, and cook for another ten minutes or until the eggplant starts to break down a little. We like this version of ratatouille to be stew-like.

When the ratatouille is fresh off the stove, there’s nothing better than scooping some onto toasted bread slices and enjoying.

Once the ratatouille has cooled, we portion it into flat quart-sized ziplocs for freezing. I love how handy it is to be able to pull out versatile food and have an easy meal. I’ll be sharing some examples in the future.
