2Beefsteak Tomatoescored and sliced, then chopped (see picture above)
2tablespoonOlive Oil
1teaspoonKosher Salt
1Yellow Squashchopped
2Zucchinichopped and divided evenly
5Roasted Garlic Cloves
1teaspoonFresh Cracked Pepper
3tablespoonHerbs de Provence
4tablespoonGrated Parmesan or Parmesan with Asiago(optional)
Instructions
Using a stainless steel pan or other non-reactive pan (avoid aluminum and cast iron when cooking tomatoes for any length of time), heat over medium-high heat. Add in the oil. When the oil shimmers, add in the onion and salt. Mix well. Allow to cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add in the tomatoes and stir.
Add in the yellow squash, ½ of the zucchini, garlic, pepper and herbs. Stir well.
When the mixture begins to bubble, reduce the heat to low. Cook uncovered for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
After an hour, add in the remaining zucchini. Cook 1 more hour, stirring occasionally.
Taste, adjust seasonings and taste again.
Serve hot and happy eating!
Notes
We add in the second half of the zucchini after an hour so the ratatouille has just a bit more structure. If you want all the veggies to have the same consistency, add in all the zucchini at the same time.
