What to serve with ratatouille?

[sojourner]

That recipe looks rather familiar.

Oh was it yours?

I did it with cous cous and mozarella salad, it went down well, except the aubergines were a bit underdone

Yes I put it on the Recipe Wiki, and now you're taking all the credit for it.

So ratatouille is meant to go in the oven? Maybe that explains why the saucepan version I've just made tastes of precisely fuck all.

She made it all her own by saying that it needed more tinned tomatoes.

I always do mine on the hob. A long slow simmer and plenty of seasoning/herbs makes it thick and delicious.

Last night I added a load of green beans to it too, result.

Cooking on the hob shouldn't detract from the flavour, as long as you use plenty of garlic, herbs and olive oil.

The oven recipe above is pretty foolproof though.

Decent pot with a good lid and the hob's fine really.

Good way of using a up a glut of little tomatoes usually.

oven = brown bits = better than on the hob.

sprinkle with cheese near the end.

Get that from the saute at the start.

And if you want crispy rather than brown then get from from the crostini
