One Pot Ratatouille Rice Recipes

ONE POT RATATOUILLE RICE

Steps:

• In a skillet or saucepan, warm the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion with a sprinkle of salt, and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until translucent. Add the garlic and cook for 30 to 60 seconds more, until fragrant.
• Add the zucchini, eggplant, black pepper, oregano, red pepper flakes, another pinch of salt; stir; and cook for 60 seconds. Add the bell pepper and tomatoes with another pinch of salt and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until the tomatoes start to release some liquid.
• Finally, add the rice and vegetable broth and stir. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce it to a simmer. Cover the pan and cook the mixture, stirring occasionally, for about 15 to 18 minutes or until the rice is done. Add more liquid if you notice the liquid is low and/or the rice is sticking to the bottom of the pan.
• Season to taste with more salt, pepper, dried herbs, and red pepper flakes as desired. Serve hot, topped with chiffonade of fresh basil. Once cooled to room temperature, leftovers can be stored for up to 5-7 days in the refrigerator.

THE BEST RATATOUILLE

Steps:

• Heat 1/4 cup olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat until shimmering, about 1 minute. Add the bell peppers, onion and 1 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring often, until the onions are translucent and the bell peppers have softened slightly, about 10 minutes. Add the eggplant, the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring often, until the eggplant is very soft, about 8 minutes. Add the zucchini and continue to cook, stirring often, until beginning to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, tomato paste and red pepper flakes, if using. Cook, stirring often, until the zucchini has softened, about 5 minutes.
• Stir in the tomatoes, bring to a simmer and then reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the ratatouille has reached a thick stew-like consistency, about 10 minutes. Stir in the parsley and basil with salt and pepper to taste. Spoon into a bowl and sprinkle with more fresh parsley and basil before serving.
