Green Ratatouille

I felt like a ratatouille, when I visitebiked to my market this morning. And my idea was to give it an Asian touch, so I decided to cook it in my wok - a gift from my dear friend Jamini. So much more so that the Ingredient of the month in the Weekend Wokking website was Egg Plant. Wasn't Sunday after all? As I was queuing, I decided to make a Green Ratatouille to give my dish a personal touch. To do one with me now, you need everything green! I bought one green bell pepper, about 5-6 green piment d'Espelette (if you do not have this chili, add another green bell pepper) , a bunch of new onions, the white aubergine, 5 green tomatoes, and coriander. I had two zucchinis in my fridge.

Cut the peppers in stripes. Heat the vegetable oil (I used sunflower oil) in the wok over medium heat, add the green peppers, let fry 4-5 minutes until soft, then remove and put aside. Be careful not to burn them.

Clean 6 -7 small onions, cut them in four. Chop the green leaves of the onions. Add a little it of oil in the wok if necessary. Add the onions, let fry 3-4 minutes, then add the chopped leaves. Stir and let fry 2 more minutes. Remove.

Cut the zucchinis in dices and fry them as you have done with the other ingrdients.

Wash and cut the aubergine in dices. Add oil in the wok. Fry. The aubergine absorbs more oil than the other vegetables, so make sure you add enough oil. Let fry until it starts to be brown.

Then add the vegetables you have put aside and stir over hi heat a few minutes.

Cut the green tomatoes in dices. Add them to the vegetable mix. Cook over high heat to evaporate the excess water quickly, stirring constantly.

Remove from the wok, put in the serving plate and sprinkle fresh coriander on top.

You can serve this Green-Tatouille, inspired from the French Provence Ratatouille, with boiled rice. Bon appetit!
