INSTRUCTIONS
RATATOUILLE
Preheat the oven to 220C/gas 7.
Scrub the potatoes thoroughly under cold running water. Remove any "eyes".
Prick the skins several times with a fork.
Bake in the oven for 1-1 1/4 hours until soft all the way through. Test by
squeezing with your hands.
If you like crunchy vegetables, reduce the cooking time of the ratatouille
by about half and add the courgettes for the last 10 minutes only so that
they retain their fresh green colour and texture.
Heat the oil in a large non stick pan. Add the onion and cook over a medium
heat for about 10 minutes or until softened, stirring often.
Add the remaining vegetables, the garlic, salt and pepper. Stir well. Cover
the pan and cook over a low heat for about 45 minutes or until the
vegetables are tender but still retain their shape. Stir gently from time
to time. Check the seasoning before serving.
Take the baked potatoes out of the oven and split down the middle. Spoon
the ratatouille into the split potato and serve sprinkled with shredded
basil.
