Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Wash and dry all your vegetables.
- Chop the red pepper into bite-sized pieces.
- Chop the zucchini into half-moons or bite-sized chunks.
- Chop the eggplant into cubes.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat.
- Add the chopped red pepper, zucchini, and eggplant to the skillet. Sauté for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften.
- Pour in the canned tomatoes, including their juice, and stir to combine with the vegetables.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste (you can also add herbs like thyme, basil, or oregano if desired).
- Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let the vegetables simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and the flavors have melded together.
- While the ratatouille is simmering, season the white fish portions with a little salt and pepper.
- In a separate pan, heat a small amount of olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the fish to the pan and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
- Once both the ratatouille and the fish are cooked, carefully nestle the fish portions into the ratatouille in the skillet, allowing them to absorb some of the flavors.
- Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to let the fish heat through.
- Gently scoop portions of the ratatouille and fish onto serving plates.
- Garnish with fresh herbs, if desired, and serve hot.
Tips:
- Chop the vegetables uniformly to ensure even cooking.
- Use fresh, high-quality olive oil for the best flavor.
- Season the fish with salt and pepper before cooking to enhance its taste.
- Cook the vegetables until they are soft but still retain some texture.
- Let the ratatouille sit for a few minutes after cooking to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Consider garnishing with fresh herbs like basil or parsley for added flavor and presentation.
