Spicy Ratatouille With Sausage Spaghetti Food

RATATOUILLE AND SAUSAGE POTPIE WITH CORNMEAL BISCUITS

Steps:

• For the biscuits: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Using a pastry cutter or fork, cut in the butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Fold in the sour cream. Gently knead mixture until it comes together in a ball, adding a drop or two of milk if necessary. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to use. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
• For the ratatouille: In a bowl, toss eggplant and zucchini with 5 tablespoons oil; season with 3/4 teaspoon salt and 3/4 teaspoon pepper. Spread vegetables in a single layer on one or two large baking sheets (do not crowd vegetables). Transfer to oven and roast, tossing occasionally, until golden, about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a large, deep, preferably oven-proof sauté pan, heat 1 tablespoon oil. Crumble sausage into pan and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 7 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer sausage to a paper towel-lined plate.
• Return pan to medium heat and add remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Stir in the onion, pepper, garlic and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cook until softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes and thyme sprigs; simmer gently until tomatoes are cooked and mixture is stew-like, about 10 minutes. Stir in the sausage, roasted vegetables and parsley. If you are not using an oven-safe pan, transfer mixture to a 2-quart gratin dish or baking pan.
• Divide biscuit dough into six equal balls. Use your palm to flatten each ball into a 1/2 -inch-thick disk. Arrange on top of ratatouille mixture. Brush biscuits lightly with milk.
• Transfer skillet or pan to oven and cook until biscuits are golden, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes before serving.

SPICY RATATOUILLE

Steps:

• Chop up the vegetables into, (bite-sized or slightly larger), pieces. The onion will add a nicer texture if you chop it into rings rather than dicing it.
• Heat up a large frying pan and add your olive oil, the chopped onion and the chopped garlic. Cook until slightly browned, but not cooked through.
• Add the carrots to the frying pan.
• Leave to simmer, covered, for about 5 minutes. You can add about half a glass of water to keep the vegetables from sticking and to steam them a bit.
• Add the capsicums, mushrooms and zucchini to the pan, as well as the tin of diced tomatoes and chilli sauce.
• Cover and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until all your vegetables are cooked. The sauce should reduce slightly. You can add some fresh tomatoes for added flavour here. They will cook quickly in the pot and shouldn't take more than 2 or 3 minutes.
• Add salt and pepper to taste and serve as a side dish with some plain steamed chicken or beef, or just by itself.

• Food Trivia
• Everyone has their own version of how to cut an onion without crying. I'm not convinced that any of them work, but the most popular versions seem to be: 1) freeze the onions for half an hour before chopping; 2) peel them under running water; 3) don't slice the onion root, which releases the strongest fumes; 4) breathe through your nose while chopping. And we can't forget to include holding a piece of bread in your mouth as you chop, although I suggest you try this one when no one else is around.
