Flap-down ratatouille

4 servings

40 minutes

This is the preparation of ratatouille using the classic tarte tatin method. The ratatouille is baked under shortcrust pastry and quickly thrown onto a plate, turning the shell of the pastry into a vegetable still life before your eyes. The dough, being baked on top, has no chance of being poorly baked or becoming sour

Cooking steps
  • Step 1

    1

    Cut the vegetables: halved cherry tomatoes, shallots lengthwise, arrows 2-3 mm thick, garlic into thin petals, pepper into strips about 1 cm wide, zucchini and eggplant into thin discs. Lightly salt the eggplant slices and let them sit for half an hour to release juice and fry better.

    Required ingredients:
    1. Cherry tomatoes: 10 pieces
    2. Shallot: 2 heads
    3. Garlic: 2 cloves
    4. Bell pepper: 0.5 piece
    5. Courgette: 0.5 piece
    6. Eggplant: 0.5 piece
    7. Salt:  to taste

    Fry the vegetables in a pan in turn, adding oil. The eggplants should develop a light crust, the zucchini and shallots should take on a golden hue. Keep the peppers skin-side down until they start to bubble and almost char, while just warming the tomatoes slightly.

    Required ingredients:
    1. Eggplant: 0.5 piece
    2. Courgette: 0.5 piece
    3. Shallot: 2 heads
    4. Bell pepper: 0.5 piece
    5. Cherry tomatoes: 10 pieces
    6. Olive oil: 5 tablespoon

    Make the sauce: finely chop and crush the anchovy fillet with the flat side of a knife. Heat a little oil in a pan, add a clove of garlic - when a strong smell arises, mash the anchovies in the oil and pour in white wine. Add half of the thyme leaves, a pinch of salt and sugar, and cook the sauce until the anchovies dissolve.

    Required ingredients:
    1. Anchovy fillet: 5 piece
    2. Garlic: 2 cloves
    3. Olive oil: 5 tablespoon
    4. White wine: 50 ml
    5. Thyme: 6 stems
    6. Salt:  to taste
    7. Sugar:  pinch

    Place the mold in a preheated oven at 175 degrees for twenty minutes. When the top of the dough turns slightly golden, remove the mold, cover it with a large plate, and quickly and carefully flip the ratatouille onto it. It can be served warm or cold.
