Ratatouille

No, not the movie. I didn't watch the movie. Thought it's the name of the Rat! haha, forgive me for my lack of knowledge. If I'm not wrong, it should be French, with 'touille' meaning 'stir up'. Ok, whatever it is, it's a vegetable stew I learned from a morning cooking show here. I have to compensate for the lack of vegetable intake for the past few days.

Ingredients:

1)onions 1/2
2)garlic 2 pieces
3) tomatoes 2
4) yellow pepper
5)lotus root half
6)zucchini half or more (left this out)
7) asparagus 3
8)salt a little (for me)
9) olive oil 4 tablespoons.

.
cut them up whichever edible way you prefer

there goes the 4 tablespoons of olive oil.

Pour in the ingredients.

You can see steam coming up, stir abit before covering the claypot. I stirred only like 3 times, (cuz I have to hang the laundry) and slow cooked it for 25 minutes and it was ready to eat. Sorry, can't provide you the photo of the final product, I was so excited I ate it straight away! and NO! It was a success ok!

It is reccommended to use a claypot to capture the sweetness of the vegetables. I like this dish, easy to cook but guess I would prefer putting seafood or chicken in it next time, then it wouldn't be ratatoiulle anymore. And 1 more important thing, the TV show didn't say we have to put in eggplants! There should be eggplants for Ratatouille! So I can't say I cooked a 100% ratatouille, damn it!
