Ratatouille

That's quite hard to spell but to be fair, I was planning on eating it not spelling it so apologies if it's wrong ;) I love ratatouille because it's a nice main meal with some pasta if you've forgotten to take some meat out of the freezer, but it also goes really nicely with fish and garlic bread (like we had it), chicken, baguettes- it's just really versatile and pretty easy to do.



Ingredients

  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, chopped
  • 1 large aubergine, cut into chunks
  • 1 large courgette, cut into chunks
  • 1 red pepper, chopped into chunks
  • 1 green pepper, chopped into chunks
  • 5/6 large tomatoes, blended (feel free to substitute for a can of chopped tomatoes)
  • 1 tbsp tomato puree
  • 2 tsp oregano
Method
  1. Fry the onion until lightly browned and add the garlic. Cook for about 3-5 minutes.
  2. Add the aubergine and brown, followed by the courgette and then peppers.
  3. Add the tomatoes then mix in the tomato puree and season with oregano to taste.
  4. Leave to simmer for 15-20 minutes until soft.


You can get boneless, skinless fish fillets that can be microwaved from frozen and they're so handy for some healthy food in under 5 minutes. The amount of fish you actually end up eating makes these better value than buying from the fish counter and it's just as good for you. I don't eat cod so we always get either salmon or haddock but any white fish would be really tasty.
