Summer Vegetable Ratatouille
- 2 to 3 Tomatoes
- 1 to 2 Zucchini
- 2 Bell peppers (green, red, or yellow)
- 1 Onion
- 1 small Canned tuna (oil-packed)
- 1 Oregano
- 1 dash Salt
- 1 generous amount Coarsely ground pepper
- 1 clove Garlic (minced)
- This time, I used these cooking tomatoes (roma tomatoes.)
- You could also use regular tomatoes or canned tomatoes.
- I used 1 green and 1 yellow zucchini.
- If the tomato skins bother you, peel them.
- If you're using cooking tomatoes, the skin won't be a problem.
- Remove the stem and chop into bite-size pieces.
- Remove the stem from the zucchini and halve lengthwise.
- Then slice into 1 cm half moons.
- Chop the onion and bell peppers into the same size as the tomatoes.
- Heat a thick-bottomed pot over low heat and add the oil from the tuna can.
- Add the chopped garlic and cook until fragrant.
- Then add all the vegetables and cook over medium heat.
- Add the tuna.
- When all the ingredients are coated with oil, add the oregano and cover the pot and simmer.
- When it comes to a boil, reduce the heat to low and continue simmering for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
- You don't need to add water since a lot of liquid seeps out from the vegetables.
- When all the ingredients are cooked through and the liquid is reduced, season with salt and pepper.
- I made this one with tomatoes, zucchini, eggplant, bell peppers, shiitake mushrooms, canned mix beans, and canned tuna.
- The beans really work well too.
- Here's a variation with cherry tomatoes, zucchini, egg plant, bell peppers, kabocha squash, buna-shimeji mushrooms, onion, and tuna can.
- Kabocha added some sweetness.
