Quality food doesn’t have to be complex. It’s often classic ingredients that are the most memorable— simple flavours combined in an intoxicating way. In the famous French dish Ratatouille, all you need are some tomato, zucchini and eggplant to create a deliciously rich sauce. If you’ve ever seen the Disney movie Ratatouille, you will know the feel-good story that took this humble dish to the mainstream. 

This Ratatouille recipe has a twist. Instead of serving the vegetables as a sauce, slices of tomato, zucchini and eggplant are beautifully arranged and baked in the oven. It makes for great comfort food and doesn’t require much of your time.
