An incredibly tasty and light dish. In Russia, it gained popularity thanks to the cartoon of the same name. Ratatouille is ideal for a summer table and for the ripening season of vegetables, when they are just about to be plucked from the garden.
It is necessary
- For the sauce:
- - 3 onions
- - bell pepper
- - chilli

- - 2 eggplants
- - 5 potatoes
- - greens (any basil, parsley)
- - olive oil

Instructions
Step 1
Remove the unwanted seeds from the bell pepper and chop it up. Slice half a chili pepper. Peel the tomato to make it easier to do, cut the skin and soak in water for 10 minutes.
Step 2
Put the peeled chopped onion, tomato and bell pepper, chili pepper and grated carrots on a hot speed. Fry them for 15 minutes. Then add the tomato paste and simmer for another 7 minutes.
Step 3
Put the prepared mass in a deep dish in which you will bake the ratatouille.
Step 4
Slice the zucchini, eggplant, and potatoes into rings. Try to keep them even so that the dish looks great on the outside. To remove the bitterness from eggplant, you can soak it in salted warm water for 10 minutes.
