Ratatouille

Friends of Global Steem at home, have you ever watched the animated film entitled "Ratatouille?"

For me this is a really unique film. From the title, this is one of the dishes which is quite famous in France. And this Ratatouille tastes really delicious, the vegetable type.

How do you make it, what ingredients do you use to process it? Check out my explanation below.

Ratatouille, this appetizing vegetarian dish is a traditional food from France. In the form of vegetables, with basic ingredients such as eggplant, zutti, peppers, as well as various spices such as garlic, onions, pepper, rosemary and olive oil, which are arranged beautifully on a baking sheet. And previously covered with fresh tomato sauce.

Usually ratatouille is cooked by baking in the oven for 30 minutes. The baking sheet is covered with baking paper, or you can also use aluminum foil.

The lively and beautiful colors, as well as the unique presentation, make this dish taste delicious, and enjoyable when enjoyed. Both in hot, cold, and room temperature conditions. Therefore, ratatouille can be enjoyed as an appetizer and also as a main dish.

By enjoying with rice, potatoes, shrimp, fish, or French bread. The uniqueness of ratatouille is its simplicity. Because the ingredients are fresh and easy to obtain, making ratatouille is very easy to cook.

You at home can cook it with creations according to your taste. Like adding apples arranged with eggplant, zutti, or you can add mozzarella cheese topping.

Now I know, ratatouille is not only an appetizer dish, but can be a main dish, just you choose which one you want.

Several videos that I watched on how to cook ratatouille raised questions for me. Why ?

Because ratatouille is cooked in the oven actually for approximately 30 minutes. For me that's quite a long time to cook vegetables. Isn't it estimated that the nutritional content has decreased?

"Processing vegetables will indeed remove the nutrients, vitamins and minerals, as well as the phytochemicals reaching 85% if heated to a very high temperature. Well, a very high temperature is the indicator is if you use a temperature above 100°c. Roasting if it is too long, but the temperature does not reach more than 100°c, then it will not eliminate significant nutrients. But if for example the temperature exceeds 100, even reaching 200°c for a long time, 85% of the vitamin, mineral, and phytochemical content will be missing from the vegetables."

Is It Dangerous If Ratatouille Consumed With Rice Or Bread?

"Ratatouille's main component is vegetables. So it can be placed as a snack food, can be an appetizer or dessert. But because the composition is all mostly vegetables, then it can also be used as an equivalent or friend of carbohydrate foods. So our staple food "You can just choose the vegetables from the ratatouille. So, there's no problem with where you put the food, what's important to pay attention to is how it's processed."

If friends have already seen how I gave an explanation about the nutritional content of ratatouille, now I will give you a wonderful recipe for ratatouille.

The ingredients consist of onions, celery stalks, eggplant, tomatoes, zucchini, red, yellow and green peppers, cauliflower and broccoli, rosemary, bay leaves, oregano and thyme.

The first step, make tomato sauce.

Chop the onion, heat the butter. Saute onions, garlic and add chopped celery stalks. Add fresh tomatoes which contain lots of water, then add rosemary, bay leaves, salt, pepper and finegar. Stir until the sauce is mixed perfectly.

The second step to make the ratatouille composition, cut the peppers into squares. Then cut the eggplant and zucchini.

The third step, pour the tomato sauce on a round glass plate, spread evenly. Arrange evenly the eggplant and Japanese cucumber on a plate that has been topped with tomato sauce. Add broccoli as a complement to vegetables, add salt, drizzle with tomato sauce again. Then sprinkle with oregano and rosemary. Wrap the dish in aluminum foil, bake in the oven for 30 minutes. Pick it up, and you are ready to enjoy it.

So, hopefully it's useful. Thanks for reading.
