[insert movie title here]

I *adored* the movie. But I've loved the dish even longer. I know it's not perfectly right for the season, but Ihad those poor, sad eggplants in my fridge, the zucchinis were cheap and.. well, I just love ratatouille. As with all good stuff, the proportions are just a suggestion, make with what you love and what you have at hand !

Ratatouille
3 eggplants
4 zucchinis
10 small tomatoes
3 bell peppers (1 red, 1 yellow, 1 green, I love to get a little bit of each taste)
2 onions

Peel the onions, wash the other vegetables. In a large pan, preheat a small blob of olive oil. Don't be shy, it's not going to be much compared to the amount of vegetables anyway, and it tastes good ! Slice the onion and start cooking them, stirring regularly. Dice the eggplants, tomatoes, zucchinis, peppers and dd them to the pot as you go. Stir, stir, stir. Once everything is on the stove, cover the pot  and let simmer for 15 minutes. Then come back and check how much liquid has formed in the pan.  If there's too much juice, leave the lid off while the ratatouille cooks. If the quantity of liquid is right for you, then keep it covered. Cook until the vegetables are soft, then cook ad little more, checking the juice level now and then. It's not a soup, but it should stay pretty juicy.
It reheats well, either on the stove or in the microwave.
