Ratatouille

Ratatouille is a traditional French vegetable stew made from eggplant, zucchini and other summer vegetables. It is rather delicious. This version is made in the crock pot.

Ingredients:

1 large eggplant
1 zucchini
1 yellow summer squash
1/2 yellow onion
1 yellow bell pepper
1 orange bell pepper
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 15 oz can peeled whole tomatoes, drained
1 15 oz can diced fire roasted tomatoes and juices
2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 water

Directions:

Chop vegetables in bite sized chunks. Layer in slow cooker and cover with seasonings, tomatoes, oil and water. Cook on low for 5 to 6 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours. I always serve it over rice, but it's also good on it's own.

I loved the ratatouille. The eggplant has a texture that's almost meaty. I love the other vegetables too. I had my ratatouille over brown rice, and it nicely complemented the vegetables.
