Ingredients for Autumn Ratatouille

  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil

How to Make Autumn Ratatouille

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add 2 cloves of minced garlic and 1 medium onion, chopped, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion softens (about 5 minutes).

Season generously with salt (about 1 teaspoon). Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 15-20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender but still hold their shape.
  3. Stir in 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper and 1-2 teaspoons soy sauce (to taste). Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  4. Serve warm as a side dish or a light vegetarian meal. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
