Ingredients
- 2 aubergines
- 4 small courgettes
- 2 red peppers
- 4 large tomatoes
- 4 tbsp olive oil
- 2 onions
- 2 garlic
- ½ tsp sugar
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
- small bunch basil
Instructions
- Cut the aubergines into quarters lengthways, then cut the quarters into 2.5cm/1in slices. Cut the courgettes into 2.5cm/1in slices. De-seed the peppers and cut them into bite-sized pieces.
- To peel the tomatoes, score a cross in the base of each tomato and place them in a heatproof bowl. Pour over enough boiling water to cover and set aside for a minute. Drain and, when cool enough to handle, peel away the skins. Roughly chop the flesh.
- Heat the oil in a flameproof casserole or heavy-based saucepan. Add the onions and cook over a gentle heat for 8â10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden-brown and very tender.
- Add the aubergines and courgettes, increase the heat slightly and cook for 2â3 minutes.
- Stir in the peppers, garlic, sugar, some salt and pepper and half the basil. Mix well and cover with a lid. Cook over a very gentle heat for 20 minutes.
- Add the tomatoes to the pan and cook for a further 10 minutes.
- Scatter the ratatouille with the remaining basil and serve.
