How to Make Ratatouille Rice

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat.
  3. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and cook until softened, about 7 minutes.
  4. Add 2 cloves garlic, minced, and cook for 1 minute more.
  5. Add 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced; 1 bell pepper (any color), chopped; and 1 medium eggplant, diced.
  6. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables have released their liquid and it has evaporated, about 5-7 minutes.
  7. In a 3- or 4-quart casserole dish, combine the vegetable mixture with 1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 1 cup vegetable broth, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, and 1 ½ cups brown rice.
  8. Stir to combine, cover the casserole dish with a lid or aluminum foil, and bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed. If the top is browning too quickly, loosely tent with foil.
