Ratatouille is a French dish. Although it is widely used in countries such as Georgia, Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, etc. The main ingredient is eggplant. It is combined in each country with different products. These could be tomatoes, zucchini, peppers, cheese, etc.

In this article we will look at how eggplant ratatouille is combined and prepared with other products. This salad can be served not only on weekdays, but also on holidays. It can be consumed both cold and hot.

Recipe 1: ratatouille in the oven with zucchini and eggplant

Ratatouille is a famous French dish that is prepared from fresh vegetables with the addition of aromatic Provençal herbs, olive oil and meaty tomato sauce. Provence, a region in France, is considered the birthplace of the dish. Ratatouille is very popular in Nice, where it is served in almost all restaurants and cafes. Today, ratatouille is considered one of the most sought-after vegetable dishes around the world.

700 g zucchini;
700 g eggplant;
200 g sweet pepper;
1 kg of sweet tomatoes;
400 g onions;
2-3 medium cloves of garlic;
a ring of hot red pepper;
olive oil;
2-3 tbsp. Sahara;
several sprigs of parsley;
2-3 sprigs of basil;
fresh or dried thyme;
salt, pepper to taste.

We wash the eggplants, remove the stems, and cut them into rings of approximately the same thickness, approximately 3 mm. If the vegetables are old, the skin will be very tough and will need to be removed. This will not affect the taste of the dish at all, except perhaps on the appearance.

Place in a deep bowl, add salt and stir. Many people skip this point, which is found in almost every eggplant recipe, and in vain. Eggplants mixed with salt release juice, which removes the bitterness, and the vegetables themselves become softer and more pleasant to taste.

While the little blue ones undergo the necessary procedure, we can move on to other vegetables. Peel and chop the onion.

Simmer it in a saucepan, a thick-bottomed pan with a non-stick coating, or in a frying pan in a small amount of olive oil.

The heat should be minimal, no need to fry. The onion needs to become transparent.

For the sauce, choose 1 of the ugliest tomatoes. We make cuts on top of it and place the tomato in a deep bowl (described in detail in the recipe for ratatouille in a frying pan). Pour boiling water over it, let stand for 5-10 minutes and drain the water. Peel off the skin and chop the tomato pulp as desired.

Add to the onion, mix.

Peel the bell pepper from seeds, rinse, and cut into small cubes. Add to vegetables for sauce.

Salt, pepper, add hot pepper.

Mix thoroughly and simmer over low heat under a closed lid until the vegetables are soft.

At this time, chop fresh herbs: parsley, basil and thyme.

As you can see in the photo, the vegetable mass for the sauce has noticeably boiled down, and the vegetables themselves have released their juice and become very soft.

Puree the resulting mixture using a blender.

Since a lot of tomatoes are used to prepare the French dish, ratatouille when baked in the oven turns out to be sour. And sugar, which we will add to the sauce to taste, will help level out tomato acid.

Remove the sauce from the heat, add the herbs and mix thoroughly. Taste and add more sugar if necessary. The sauce should be a little sweeter, since the dish will also contain tomatoes, the acidity of which also needs to be removed.

The sauce is ready. Place about half in a baking dish.

The eggplant rings have released their juice. Drain it, rinse thoroughly and squeeze out the eggplants.

Cut the zucchini into the same thin rings. If the fruits are young, we use them together with the peel, which contains many vitamins.

We also cut the tomatoes into thin rings. Use fruits that are fleshy and dense to prevent them from falling apart.

Ratatouille is a dish that historians say belongs to Italian cuisine; it was the peasants who invented it. As everyone knows, the peasants had at their disposal the products that they grew in their gardens.

Step-by-step preparation of ratatouille with photos.

Preparation of products for ratatouille with photos.

Let's start preparing ratatouille with eggplant. We cut off the stalk (the green part) and cut them into circles about 5 cm thick. It’s good if you take young eggplants for cooking, i.e. with white seeds.

Place the vegetables in a bowl, add 2 heaped teaspoons of salt, mix and leave for 15 minutes - let the bitterness go away.

Remove the stem from the zucchini. How to determine the milky ripeness of a vegetable? You need to press the skin of the zucchini with your fingernail; if the nail goes in easily, it means milky ripeness.

We remove the peel from the zucchini, but if it is milky ripe, you can leave the seeds - they are soft and will not interfere with the dish.

If the zucchini is already mature and the seeds in it are dense, then they must be removed along with the pulp. True, in this case you need to slightly increase the mass of zucchini.

After all the procedures, cut the zucchini into circles 0.7 cm thick.

Place them in a bowl, sprinkle with 0.5 teaspoons of salt and stir - let them stand for 5 minutes.

My zucchini is milky ripe, so I didn’t remove the seeds, so we cut the zucchini, now we will fry it on both sides over medium heat for 3 minutes.

Place the fried zucchini on a plate and let them wait their turn.

Bell pepper, rinse with water and remove the stem and seeds.

First cut the prepared pepper lengthwise into 4 parts, and then chop each part into slices 0.7 cm wide.

Wash the tomatoes with water and cut into slices 0.5 cm thick. Place in a bowl.

In this dish, I will use parsley, rinse it with water, remove the hard stems and chop the tender part into small fragments.

Grate a piece of hard cheese on a coarse grater.

Assembling Ratatouille.

The eggplants stood for 15 minutes, this kind of juice has formed, it needs to be drained, because... he is very bitter.

Then fill the eggplants with cold water and rinse them. We drain the water.

To prepare ratatouille, you need to take a pan with high sides; I have a pan with a non-stick coating.

We put layers in it:

- eggplants,

- on top of the zucchini,

- then bell pepper, it should be lightly salted,

- place the tomatoes, add a little salt and squeeze the garlic over the entire surface,

- Sprinkle with ground black pepper.

— lay out the chopped parsley and add a little salt.

Preparing the filling.

Break the eggs into a bowl and lightly beat with a whisk for 30 seconds.

Add mayonnaise to the eggs and beat lightly.

Add some salt to the mixture and mix again.

Pour the filling into the arranged vegetables and sprinkle grated cheese on top.

Cover the pan with foil, shiny side in, and place in a preheated oven and bake at 180 degrees for 60 minutes.

Time has passed, remove the dish from the oven and, without removing the foil, let it brew for 15 minutes.

Ratatouille is ready, put it in layers on a plate and invite everyone to the table!

Ingredients for tomato sauce:

Prepare all ingredients. It is better to take vegetables of the same size in diameter, then according to this recipe the ratatouille dish will look beautiful and all the main ingredients will be cooked evenly.

Wash the eggplants and cut crosswise into thin circles 2-3 mm thick. Sprinkle with coarse salt and leave for 20-30 minutes to remove the bitterness that is sometimes felt in eggplants and spoils the recipe for the finished dish.

Wash the zucchini (or zucchini), dry it, if the crust is hard, cut it off and cut the zucchini into the same circles as the eggplants. Wash the tomatoes too and cut into circles or semi-circles (depending on the size of the tomatoes) with a diameter similar to other vegetables.

Prepare tomato sauce for ratatouille. The recipe with photos will show you step by step how to make hot sauce based on fresh tomatoes, but you can use canned tomatoes in their own juice or even tomato paste diluted with water instead.

Pour oil into a preheated shallow saucepan, thick-bottomed saucepan or frying pan, add onion, add a little salt and fry until soft. Add bell peppers and fry with onions, stirring, for about 5 minutes.

Add chopped tomato pulp, salt, sugar and pepper to taste, stir and simmer over low heat, stirring, for 10-15 minutes. At the end, you can add chopped basil or parsley to the sauce.

The liquid (tomato juice) will reduce slightly and the sauce will become thicker.

Place two-thirds of the resulting tomato sauce on the bottom of a baking dish (ceramic or Teflon) (we will need the remaining ratatouille sauce for this recipe when serving).

Rinse the eggplants of salt and pat dry with a paper towel. Place the vegetables, alternating: tomato circle, eggplant circle, zucchini circle, until the entire form is filled. You can do this vertically, or you can place the vegetables in the pan horizontally, overlapping (in this case they will cook faster). If you are preparing ratatouille for the winter using this recipe, you can place vegetables in jars in the same way.

Wash the hot pepper and chop it very finely (if you have problems with the gastrointestinal tract, you don’t need to add hot pepper to the dish). Wash the parsley, dry and chop. Peel the garlic and chop finely. Combine the ingredients and mix, spread it evenly on the vegetables. Drizzle with olive oil and salt.

Cover the pan with parchment paper and bake the ratatouille according to the recipe with the photo in the oven for 40-50 minutes at 190-200 degrees.

Remove the ratatouille from the oven, sprinkle with cheese and let sit for 10 minutes.

Recipe 6: Ratatouille with minced meat, cooked in the oven

pork 300 g
chicken breast 200 g
1 pc onion - for minced meat, 1 pc - for filling
eggplant 1 piece
zucchini or zucchini 1 piece
champignon mushrooms 200 g
bell pepper 2 pcs
garlic 2 teeth
green peas 50 g
odorless vegetable oil to taste
salt to taste
water 70 ml
dried Italian herbs to taste
dried basil to taste
ground black pepper to taste
red hot pepper to taste
ground cilantro to taste
fresh cilantro to taste
sugar 1 tsp.
tomato puree 300 g
carrots 1 piece

We prepare minced meat from pork, breast and onion. Add salt and spices to it

Cut the eggplant into thin slices, add salt and leave for 30 minutes

Cut the sides of the bell pepper into slices. Then we cut the sides into two parts crosswise. We will need bell pepper trimmings for filling.

Preparing the filling. In vegetable oil, fry finely chopped carrots and onions until soft. Add mashed tomatoes (I use ready-made ones), water, chopped bell pepper, sugar. Add salt and spices to taste. Let it simmer for a couple of minutes. Add finely chopped garlic. Turn it off.

Cut the mushrooms into slices.

We also cut the zucchini into thin slices.

Place most of the filling on the bottom of the mold.

Add vegetables. Place minced meat on the eggplant in the form of a cutlet. Then add a slice of zucchini, then a slice of champignon, then a slice of bell pepper, etc. It is advisable to place the vegetables in the mold at a slight angle (I have a 30x20 cm mold. It turned out to be too small for this amount of ingredients). Add salt. The main thing is not to overdo it and remember that the filling and minced meat are already salted, and so are the eggplants.

I added some young green pea pods on top.

Spread the rest of the filling and sprinkle with spices. A mixture of Italian herbs and basil come in very handy here.

Bake at 180 degrees until done. Since my vegetables and meat were packed very tightly, it took 2 hours. If you take a larger form, it will take less time. And take the form higher, because... there will be a lot of juice. I poured the juice over the top several times to prevent it from drying out. We place our ratatouille a la ratatouille on a dish, generously pouring the juice over it, and sprinkle with fresh cilantro.

It turned out simply divine! Bon appetit!

Recipe 7: how to cook ratatouille in the oven (with photo)

Ratatouille is a vegetable dish that gained popularity after the release of the cartoon of the same name. The main ingredients of the recipe are eggplants, fresh tomatoes and zucchini. Vegetables are cooked in tomato sauce, thanks to which they soften and are saturated with juice and aroma.

The popular cartoon shows the author's serving of ratatouille, in which the ingredients are cut into identical circles and laid out in a circle. Today we will reproduce this serving method and cook the acclaimed vegetable ratatouille in the oven - a recipe with photos will make our task easier step by step!

eggplants - 2 pcs.;
zucchini - 1-2 pcs.;
fresh tomatoes - 3-4 pcs.;
garlic - 2-3 cloves;
vegetable oil - 5 tbsp. spoon;
mixture of herbs (basil, thyme, etc.) - 1/2 teaspoon;
fresh parsley - to taste;
salt, pepper - to taste.

For the sauce:

fresh tomatoes - 0.5 kg;
onion - 1 pc.;
bell pepper - 2 pcs.;
chili pepper (optional) - ½ piece;
vegetable oil - 1-2 tbsp. spoons;
salt, pepper - to taste.

Let's start with the ratatouille sauce. After cutting off the stalks, as well as cleaning all the seeds and removing the soft partitions, we place the bell peppers in the oven. Maintain at a temperature of 220 degrees for about 30 minutes. When the vegetable skin begins to darken, remove the pan from the oven.

Immediately place the hot peppers in a plastic bag to steam and soften.

Peel the tomatoes. To do this, make cuts in the peel, pour boiling water over the tomatoes and leave for 5 minutes, then rinse with cold water. After such actions, the softened skin will come off very easily.

Peeled tomatoes, cutting out the stalk, chop into small cubes.

In a saucepan or small ladle, adding 1-2 tablespoons of vegetable oil, sauté finely chopped onion until soft. Next, add tomatoes and, if desired, chopped hot chili. Simmer everything together for about 10 minutes.

Finely chop the cooled sweet peppers and add them to the tomato mixture. Sprinkle the vegetable mixture with salt and add chopped parsley. To enhance the flavor, you can add a spoonful of tomato paste or ketchup to the sauce, but this is not necessary. Continue keeping the mixture on the fire for another 5 minutes.

Zucchini, eggplants and tomatoes, washed and dried, cut into thin slices. To get rid of bitterness, sprinkle chopped eggplants with salt and leave for 10 minutes, then rinse.

Spread the prepared sauce in an even layer in a round heat-resistant dish. On top, alternating, place sliced vegetables in a circle. Lightly sprinkle with salt/pepper.

Separately combine vegetable oil (5 tablespoons), finely chopped garlic and a mixture of herbs. Stir.

Lubricate the assorted vegetables with aromatic oil. Covering with a sheet of foil, place the pan in a hot oven. Bake for about an hour, maintaining the temperature at 180 degrees.

Then remove the sheet of foil and brown the vegetables for 30 minutes. After removing from the oven, add fresh herbs to the ratatouille.

Serve the vegetables warm along with the tomato sauce in which they were cooked.

Ratatouille is ready in the oven! Let's start tasting the popular dish. Bon appetit!

Recipe 8: ratatouille in the oven at home

In today’s article I’ll tell you how to cook classic ratatouille: a recipe with vegetables in the oven.

The classic version of the dish became popular after the release of the cartoon of the same name. This French vegetable dish is very healthy and light. Its beautiful presentation will ensure an amazing table.

Eggplant – 1 pc.
Tomato – 3 pcs.
Zucchini – 1 pc.
Garlic – 2 teeth
Olive oil – 2 tbsp. spoons
Salt - to taste
Pepper - to taste
Provençal herbs – 2 tbsp. spoons
Tomato paste – 2 tbsp. spoons
Water – ¾ cup

To make oven-baked vegetables tasty, you need to buy high-quality products, fresh and aromatic.

This dish is more suitable for the summer season, when local vegetables ripen. I carefully wash the eggplant, small zucchini and tomatoes purchased from trusted sellers under running water.

I cut all products into thin, even circles. I'll start with zucchini, it's best to cook with young zucchini, it is more tender and does not need to be peeled and seeds removed.

I do the same with the eggplant, without peeling it, I cut it into thin circles. A ceramic knife is ideal for cutting, as it allows you to cut very thinly.

In order not to lose juice from tomatoes when cutting, I cut them not along the axis as usual, but perpendicular to it. With a fragrant and rich tomato, Ratatouille turns out brighter.

Now I put the slices in a baking dish. For this I use a round glass bowl with a lid. I make a circle laid out like a domino, with vegetables stacked one at a time. First a circle of zucchini, then a tomato, then an eggplant, then another zucchini and so on. I also fill in the middle and remove any gaps so that the vegetables lie tightly.

Now I’m preparing the sauce for pouring: it contains a mixture of Provençal herbs seasonings. You can buy it ready-made or make it yourself if you have a set of the necessary dried herbs. It requires mixing mint, basil, marjoram, sage, oregano, thyme, rosemary, savory.

Add tomato paste to hot water and stir it well.

Pour Provençal herbs, salt and pepper into the same glass.

I proceed with garlic as follows: peel it and squeeze it into a glass using a special press. Garlic gives the dish a spicy and appetizing aroma. I mix everything.

Pour clarified olive oil into a glass. I buy it of high quality to retain all the nutrients and vitamins.

I pour the resulting sauce over the ingredients. It is he who brings the zest and spirit of France to the dish.

I cover the mold with a lid. If you don't have a baking dish with a lid, you can cover it with regular foil.
