Provencal ratatouille
Forget about the tinned stuff loaded with sugar and try this delicious French casserole of veg in a scrumptious thick tomato sauce. Eat it with pasta, rice, baked potato or on its own with crusty bread.

- Heat a generous drizzle of olive oil in a large pan. Cook and stir each vegetable in the oil separately for about 4 minutes each, or until they get a little colour on them. Add them all back to the casserole, along with the salt, pepper and garlic. Cook and stir for a minute.
- Add the red wine vinegar, sugar, parsley and thyme, and stir for another minute, then add the tomatoes.
- Stir and let simmer for 40 minutes. Serve how you like, I like it through pasta with grated cheese on top!

Absolutely gorgeous. Followed the recipe exact except for the use of olive oil, replaced that with frylight. This is definitely tongue tingling with flavour. Excellent, will be making this on a regular basis. - 23 Jul 2013
