Cheesy Ratatouille
- 8 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 onions peeled and thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic peeled and chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1 eggplant about 1/2 lb, thickly sliced
- 2 zucchini 1 yellow + 1 green, thickly sliced
- 4 tomatoes thickly sliced
- 1/4 pound buffalo mozzarella torn into small pieces
- fresh basil for garnish
- toasted baguette to serve
- Preheat the oven to 400u0b0F. Heat 2 tbsp oil in a frying pan and saute the onions and garlic until translucent. Add the chili flakes and tomato paste and cook for 2-3 mins. Season then transfer to a 9 1/2 inch dutch oven.
- Pack the eggplant, zucchini and tomatoes in layers in the dutch oven, so the slices are almost vertical. Season then drizzle with 6 tbsp oil. Cover with foil and bake for 1 hour. Remove the foil, sprinkle with mozzarella then return to the oven for 15 mins. Garnish with basil and serve with toasted baguette.
