Diet stew with eggplants and onions
3 servings
40 minutes
Dietary ratatouille with eggplants and onions is a light and exquisite dish of French cuisine, perfect for those who value healthy eating. France is famous for its vegetable ratatouille, where each combination of ingredients reveals depth of flavor. Here, tender eggplant and juicy zucchini are gently cooked until soft and then covered with rich tomato paste and aromatic onions. The dish turns out delicate, slightly tangy due to the tomatoes, and filled with subtle spicy notes of herbs and curry. It pairs wonderfully with whole grain bread or can be served as a standalone light dinner. Most importantly, it does not overload the body while remaining nutritious and tasty.

(add water if necessary).
