    Main Dish: Ratatouille (vegetable stew)


    Source of Recipe


    Cooking for Graduate Students & Other Beginning Kitchen Dwellers (James W. Cooper)

    Recipe Introduction


    In "The History of the World, Part I," Mel Brooks tells of the starvation in Paris, where citizens are forced to eat rats. He shows a barker, selling rat cakes, rat pies and ratatouille.
    Fortunately, the real dish is a kind of vegetable stew.

    List of Ingredients




    olive oil
    3 Tb flour
    2 cloves garlic minced
    2 green peppers cut in strips
    1 large onion diced
    5 ripe tomatoes sliced
    2 zucchini
    salt and pepper
    1 small eggplant
    1 Tb capers

    Recipe



    Heat the oil in a large skillet, and add the garlic and onion and saute until soft. Slice the zucchini and peel and cube the eggplant. Shake the pieces with the flour in a paper bag, shake off the excess flour and add to the skillet. Saute briefly to brown, and then cover and cook over low heat for about an hour.

    Add the tomatoes and cook uncovered until smooth. Stir in the capers in the last few minutes of cooking. Serve hot or cold.

    buny's note: capers are usually found in the store near the pickles and condiments.
