Ingredients

4 Zucchini (in French: courgettes)

2 Eggplant (in French: aubergines)

4 ripened Tomatoes

3 small Green peppers

1 Medium Red pepper

1 Medium to large Onion or 4 to 5 small fresh onions

2 cloves Garlic

Flat Parsley, chopped

Basil, chopped

Salt

Pepper from the mill

Olive oil for cooking

Directions

NOTE: The order of cooking is important, so keep the vegetables separate when preparing them.

Preparation

Slice the onion and chop the garlic finely.

Cut the peppers in two and remove the storks, seeds and white fleshy parts, then cut into 1/2 inch squares.

Without peeling them, cube the Aubergines and courgettes to an equivalent size.

Remove the stem and seeds from the tomatoes and cut the flesh into small pieces.

Chop the parsley and basil, keeping a few small leaves as garnish.

Cooking

1.In a frying pan, sauté the onion, garlic and peppers in olive oil over a brisk heat, stirring frequently. Season with salt and pepper as you go along. When the peppers are 3/4 cooked (they should be nice and crunchy), remove from pan and keep warm.

2.Sauté the aubergines until they are cooked through and nice and golden. Set aside with the peppers.

3.Sauté the zucchini.

4.Add the tomatoes and parsley as the zucchini start to golden, and cook for a further 2 to 3 minutes.

5.Return the peppers and aubergines to the pan, mix all the vegetables thoroughly and add the basil.

6.If required, deglaze the pan with a little water and then reduce.

Transfer to a serving dish and garnish parsley and basil leaves.

I actually make this once in a while, love it. Makes too much food for me and nobody else in this house eats real food-so, only once in a while. Thanks Grizz.

The kids and I called this Farmer's Market Lunch, and were pretty smugg about our "invention" until we saw Ratatouille! Then we discovered it was a wonderful old French recipe. Love your recipe, it keeps everything "defined", and not a mushy mess.
