Baked Ratatouille

By

This colorful dish is a layered casserole of thinly sliced summer squash, zucchini, eggplant, mushroom, and because I like things spicy, I threw in a little fresh jalapeno pepper. Traditionally I believe ratatouille is prepared as more of a stew, but I like to layer all of my beautiful vegetable slices into a pyrex dish and bake it. This creates a very colorful and delicate looking delicious dish that never fails to remind me of a certain adorable French rat, turned chef…

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees

To prepare, you are going to have a big slicing party. If you have a mandolin, this is a great use for it, but you can also get the job done with a sharp knife and some perseverance. Slice all of your veggies, including garlic cloves and peppers, into 1/16th-1/8th inch slices.
In a greased 9 x 9 x 2 inch pan, pour in crushed tomatoes and smooth into a even layer.
Now comes the fun part, layering! Start arranging all of your lovely little veggie rounds in rows atop the tomato sauce. Take care to alternate the veggies and incorporate your slices of garlic and peppers.
When your dish is full, brush the tops of your veggies with olive oil. Sprinkle with herbs de provence and salt, and then top with cheese.
Pop the whole thing into the oven and bake for aprox. 45 mins, or until veggies are all thoroughly cooked.
