How to Use Accurate Knives to Make the Best Ratatouille
A traditional French vegetable dish, ratatouille is renowned for its vivid flavours and exquisite presentation. Let's make a meal that is as beautiful as it is tasty!
Ingredients:
1 medium aubergine
One medium yellow squash and one medium zucchini
One big tomato
One red bell pepper
One yellow bell pepper
One little red onion
Four minced garlic cloves
Three teaspoons of olive oil
The dried thyme, one teaspoon
To taste, add salt and pepper.
Garnish with fresh basil.
Directions
First, get the vegetables ready.
Cut the tomato, zucchini, eggplant and yellow squash into thin, even rounds with your Damascus chef's knife. Make thin strips out of the bell peppers. Chop the garlic finely with your paring knife.
A sharp knife guarantees precise cuts, maintaining the texture and form of the veggies.
Step 2: Prepare the sauce
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet. Add the diced onion and minced garlic and sauté until transparent. Add the thyme, a bit of salt, and a handful of diced tomatoes. Cook until a small thickening of the sauce occurs. Evenly cover the bottom of a baking dish with the sauce.
Step 3: Arrange the Vegetables
For a bright appearance, arrange the sliced vegetables in a circular pattern, switching up the colours. Pour the leftover olive oil on top and season with additional thyme, salt, and pepper.
Step Four: Bake
Turn the oven on to 375°F, or 190°C. Bake the dish for half an hour after covering it with foil. To caramelise the top, take off the foil and continue baking for another fifteen minutes.
Step 5: Serve warm as a main course or as a side dish, garnished with fresh basil.
