One of my favorite movies is a Pixar film called Ratatouille. You've probably heard of it before, but just in case you haven't, one of the major ideas in the movie is that "anyone can cook."
Ratatouille is one of those foods that has a scary-sounding, fancy name, but (as I learned during the movie) it's actually a very simple, soul-satisfying, country dish. Of course, once I learned about it, I had to go see if there was a microwave recipe. Luckily, I found this little gem at GroupRecipes. Try it before the late summer veggies are gone!
Micro-touille (Ratatouille in the Microwave)
Ingredients:
- 1 eggplant, chopped small
- 2 medium zucchinis, halved and sliced
- 1 large sweet onion, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 28oz. can stewed tomatoes, drained, reserve about 1/3 cup juice
- 2 tbsp Italian seasoning
- Crushed red pepper (optional)
1. Chop and place all the vegetables in a large microwaveable covered casserole.
2. Cover the dish and cook on high for 25 minutes, until soft.
3. Stir in the Italian seasoning, pepper flakes (if using) and about 1/3 cup reserved tomato juice.
4. Cook on high for 2-3 minutes.
5. Let stand 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
