Ratatouille

If you use a normal pot it takes about 35-40minutes.

If you use a pressure cooker

It's done in 4 minutes .

Ingredients for 6 small servings

Onion 100g

Zucchini 200g

Aubergine 250g

Bell peppers 250g

Cherry tomato 200g

2 cloves of garlic

30ml EV olive oil

Oregano (dry)1 tsp

Sweet paprika powder 1tsp

6g sea salt

1tsp sweet paprika powder

1tbsp brewer's yeast

20g tomato paste

1-2 Bay leaves

Optional ingredients

(see the end of the first step)

500ml water with 1tsp salt to soak Aubergine

Parsley

Step 1

Dice all the summer vegetables.

Chop garlic and onion.

To shorten the cooking time.

Soak diced aubergine in the salty water for about 10 minutes.

And rinse them, after straining. Then squeeze them.

Removing water from aubergines, is a common step in cooking the vegetable, especially before frying so they cook faster.

If you use an instant pot skip this step because everything will be so soft in 5 minutes.

Step 2

Warm generous amount of olive oil in the pot.

Sautee onion, then garlic and bay leaves until fragrant.

Step 3

Add salt and the strained aubergines.

Sautee aubergines for about 5-7minutes until they become translucent

over a medium heat.

Step 7

Add diced bell peppers and zucchini and the spices.

Sautee until they get tender for about 5 minutes.

Step 8

Add chopped tomatoes and brewer's yeast.

Sautee for about 2-3 minutes until well combined then place a lid.

Let it simmer for about 30 minutes over a low heat.

When aubergines are meltingly tender the dish is done!

For instant pot cooking, I like to roast bell peppers first just to make them brown.

Then add everything all in once.

Pressure cook it for 4minutes. And it's done:)

This tasty Ratatouille pairs well with crusty bread, crackers and pasta too.
