BUTTERNUT SQUASH RATATOUILLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Place the squash in a roasting pan and toss with 2 teaspoons of the oil. Roast until just tender, tossing from time to time, about 25 minutes.
• Heat the remaining teaspoon of oil in a large, nonstick skillet. Add the roasted squash and the carrots and cook for 3 minutes. Add the leeks and cook for 2 minutes. Add the zucchini, apples and shallots and cook for 3 minutes longer. Stir in the vegetable or chicken broth, salt and pepper and simmer until the vegetables are tender but not too soft, about 15 minutes. Serve warm.

WINTER RATATOUILLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Toss the squash and potatoes with 2 tablespoons of the oil, salt and pepper. Spread in a single layer on a large rimmed baking pan and roast, stirring once or twice, until tender and golden brown in spots, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat the remaining tablespoon oil in a medium pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion, garlic, rosemary and a pinch of salt and cook, stirring, until softened, about 8 minutes. Add the tomatoes and roasted vegetables and simmer until slightly thickened and the flavors have blended, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a serving bowl.

RATATOUILLE OF SUMMER SQUASH AND TOMATOES

Steps:

• Cook the pasta according to package directions.
• While the pasta is cooking, melt the butter in a large saute pan over medium heat and add the onion. It's important to keep the butter from browning. When the onion begins to turn translucent (after about 2-3 minutes), add the sugar and continue sauteeing the onion, stirring frequently, until it just begins to caramelize (about 5-7 minutes).
• Add the bell pepper, garlic and pine nuts and continue cooking over medium heat for another minute or so. Stir frequently to keep the garlic from browning.
• Add the squash and white wine, stirring to deglaze the pan and combine the ingredients.
• Mix the tomato paste and water until well-combined. After another minute or so, once the squash has begun to "wilt," add the tomatoes, oregano and tomato paste and water mixture, stirring to combine the ingredients and coat them with the tomato paste and water mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste, cover and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
• Stir in the basil just before serving.
• Serve over the pasta with a generous topping of Parmesan cheese.

CHICKEN RATATOUILLE

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and onion; saute until chicken is still slightly pink in the center, 3 to 5 minutes. Add yellow squash, green zucchini, red bell pepper, and mushrooms. Cook and stir until slightly softened, about 4 minutes. Add garlic; cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 3 minutes more.
• Pour chicken stock into skillet and add tomato paste. Stir in herbes de Provence, cumin, oregano, and celery salt. Stir well. Continue to cook and stir, adding more liquid if necessary, until vegetables are cooked to your preference, 4 to 8 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper.

SUMMER VEGETABLE RATATOUILLE

Steps:

• Heat 1 1/2 tablespoon of the oil in a large pot over medium-low heat. Add the onions and garlic and cook until soft.
• In a large skillet, heat 1 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil and saute the zucchini in batches until slightly browned on all sides. Remove the zucchini and place in the pot with the onions and garlic.
• Saute all the remaining vegetables one batch at a time, adding 1 1/2 tablespoon olive oil to the skillet each time you add a new set of vegetables. Once each batch has been sauteed add them to the large pot as was done in step 2.
• Season with salt and pepper. Add the bay leaf and thyme and cover the pot. Cook over medium heat for 15 to 20 minutes.
• Add the chopped tomatoes and parsley to the large pot, cook another 10-15 minutes. Stir occasionally.
• Remove the bay leaf and adjust seasoning.

FALL RATATOUILLE RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
• Make the purée: In a medium pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat until it begins to shimmer. Add the onion, sweet potato, potato, apple, thyme, and salt. Sauté for 8-10 minutes, until the vegetables begin to release their juices and soften.
• Add ½ cup (120 ml) of vegetable stock and cover the pan. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for 20-25 minutes, until the vegetables are completely softened. Remove the pot from the heat.
• Remove the thyme stems and discard. Add the remaining ¼ cup (60 ml) of vegetable stock and, using an immersion blender, blend until completely smooth. Season with more salt to taste.
• Spread the purée over the bottom of an 10-inch (25 cm) cast iron skillet. Arrange the orange sweet potatoes, yellow potatoes, purple sweet potatoes, delicata squash, and apple slices in an alternating pattern on top, working from the outside in. Drizzle the olive oil over the top and season with the salt, pepper, and thyme.
• Cover the pan with foil and bake the ratatouille for 30 minutes, then uncover and bake for another 20-25 minutes, until the vegetables are softened and starting to brown.
• Drizzle the ratatouille with more olive oil to taste. Serve warm.
• Enjoy!
