    One Pan Ratatouille

    I told you I wasn’t stopping with the summer veggies!!! This recipe is basically a summer produce extravaganza. Tell me, have you ever had ratatouille before?!

    I first discovered it when I was a graduate student at Drexel. We were required to take a couple culinary classes during our program and, to no one’s surprise, I LOVED them! The chef who taught our class was seriously the bomb.com and I learned so much in those 4-hour cooking sessions.

    One of the first recipes that we made was a traditional French ratatouille. I distinctly remember chopping tons of fresh produce–zucchini, summer squash, tomatoes, peppers, eggplant–and simmering everything on the stovetop in a drafty fourth floor kitchen. Most importantly, we learned how to make a “chiffonade” with fresh basil, and man, did I feel like I was on Top Chef!!!!

    One Pan Ratatouille
    As a result of cooking up fresh ratatouille for a professional chef, I learned a thing or two about making a good one. First, you need SUPER fresh ingredients (like farmers market fresh…hence the name). Second, you have to cook/simmer everything for at least 30 minutes.

    So no, this Farmers Market One Pan Ratatouille is not a super fast recipe, but believe me, it’s worth the wait!

    Probably the best way to describe ratatouille is to compare it to a stew. Essentially you “stew” the vegetables until they get tender and flavorful. Then you mix in some fresh basil, salt, and pepper…and DANG that’s good!

    Even though it takes a little while for the “stewing” to happen, you don’t really do anything during that time except give it all a little stir every once in a while. Pretty good deal, huh?

    Oh, and the best part? You only need one pan! I took photos of this recipe in my cast iron skillet (as you can see), but to be honest, I actually cooked it in the biggest skillet I had before I transferred it for the photo shoot. There is a whole LOT of produce before you simmer it down.
