6. Ratatouille With Poached Eggs
You will need:
1 courgetti or zucchini (diced)
1 aubergine (diced)
1 yellow onion (chopped)
1 yellow or orange pepper (deseeded and thinly sliced)
4 eggs
2 garlic cloves (finely chopped)
1 (400g) can tomatoes (chopped)
1 tbsp rosemary (chopped)
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp balsamic vinegar
Handful basil leaves
How to make:
Heat olive oil in a frying pan. Add chopped onion, pepper, garlic, and rosemary, and cook for five minutes, frequently stirring, until the onions turn golden.
Add aubergine and courgettes, and cook the mixture for an additional two minutes or more until the veggies turn tender enough to break with the gentle prick of a spoon.
Next, add tomatoes and two cups of water. Bring the mixture to a boil and then let it simmer, covered for about 40 minutes until the mixture thickens.
Stir in vinegar and make some space in the center of the mixture for eggs. Crack one egg at a time into the space and season them with black pepper.
Cover the mixture and let the eggs poach for two to five minutes until the ratatouille gets firm.
Turn off the flame and sprinkle over basil. Serve warm with a slice of crusty bread.
