Re: Ratatouille
As a result of the talk, wondered if anyone had Marco's/knorr version of this. I think I missed it when it was on the knorr web site.

Re: Ratatouille
When I played the clip a terrible whirring sound began. It was thousands of Provencal cooks turning in their graves . There is nothing Provencal about that dish. A quick vegetable stew which could well be tasty if it didn't have Knorr flavouring in it. Ratatouille - never.

Re: Ratatouille
Binky, I have a problem with the pics you post on PostImage, as usually if I tap on an image I can enlarge it, but if I tap on these I lose them
I don’t know if you can change the settings when you post them?

Re: Ratatouille
sue, I chose a small pic in order not to affect the website here (large images mess up the print I have found). I will try a larger image next time (I have made a ragu from the Claudia Roden book Mediterranean Cooking and might post that tonight if we eat it. OH has gone out for lunch and might fancy something lighter for dinner).

Re: Ratatouille
Actually I’ve just managed to zoom you pic by pinching, the trick being not to touch the photo itself, thanks Binky
Re: Ratatouille
This morning I had ratatouille and an egg for breakfast. I put the cold rat around the edge of the pan to warm up, and then cracked an egg into the middle.
Seeing as there are eggs benedict, eggs florentine, eggs arnold bennett, can I lay claim to Eggs Binky?

Re: Ratatouille
sorry, probably not - it sounds like one of the variants of shakshuka that sue mentioned.

Or even Huevos Rancheros minus the chilli.

Re: Ratatouille
Sorry but you can't it's been our favourite lunch time dish for years. In fact I always make enough to serve at least oce more.

Re: Ratatouille
Binky, I do the egg in the middle thing too (saves using another pan and can just stir it all together if the yolk breaks). However, you will be rewarded as I shall now always think of it as Eggs Binky. No monetary reward or medal I'm afraid.

Re: Ratatouille
I finally cracked an issue with the recipe, which tells you to add the bulk of the veg and cook for 40 minutes which always seemed too much
Finally dawned on me that this is to be taken literally, not bring up to a boil / simmer / bubble then turn down for 40 minutes but leave on low heat and just keep going softly softly.
Only been making it for 45 years

Re: Ratatouille
Looks lovely Sue. I always think ratatouille can be used in so many ways and keep for quite a while in the fridge too
