ratatouille

you'll need :
2 zucchinis
1 biggish aubergine
2 bell peppers (I prefer red)
3 tomatoes
1 biggish onion
2 cloves of garlic
-----------------

cut all the ingredients up into around 1 inch cubes (or smaller)

in a pan sautée all the ingredients seperately in olive oil in this order :
1st the peppers (remove and keep aside in a big bowl)
2nd the aubergine (remove and add to the big bowl)
3rd the zucchini (add to the bowl)
4th the onions and tomatoes together

once the onions and tomatoes are done, add in all the other ingredients from the big bowl.

salt and pepper to taste.  - since I have Indian genes, when I cook for myself I add red chillies.

cover and cook on low flame
after about 10 minutes add the garlic

cover and cook for another 30 minutes

ET VOILA!

I love eating this with rice.
In France ratatouille is usually as an accompaniment to red meat or sausages.
And of course red wine!  I like Cotes du Rhone wines, but the coarser wines from southern France (since this is a southern french dish) are also good.
