Too Much Oil and Salt

Fred C - May 5, 2008 04:41:54 PM PST

If you layer everything in the same pot, you can cut the salt/ oil in half easily. Just do not burn the garlic when you fry the onions and peppers etc. Then add tomato sause and bring to boil. Put the eggplant in last and simmer for a hr or so. The eggplant will still be a little meaty.

This ratatouille recipe was easy and delicious to make! The base for the recipe, a tomato sauce, was so good I would use as a regular marinara. I thought this recipe was really good, and my only suggestion is that it be cooked for longer than an hour, the longer this recipe is cooked, the more the vegetables soften and really provide a terrific flavor. This is definitely a long day cooker for me. Also great with whole wheat pasta and grated parmesean cheese, can be served with rice.

What a Way to Ruin Rataouille!

Sandy - May 5, 2008 01:36:50 PM PST

Ratatouille is a wonderful low calorie, low fat dish. This recipe bumps up the fat and calories tremendously by adding way too much oil. It\'s not necessary at all. I make fat-free ratatouille just by stewing everything. The taste is just as good, it\'s just as satisfying and savory, but without the fat. Try it!

why this much oil and salt??

Faezeh A - September 3, 2009 04:00:03 PM PST

ratatouille made by vegetables and it is a healthy food. but with this much oil and salt, it will be an unhealthy food with high calories and fat. i think oil and salt is some thing that every one must decide to use it how much and this food can be great even with very little oil and salt.

Too much oil? Too much salt? Gimme a break, it was absolutely wonderfully flavored. For a healthy adult male who does not need to watch his weight or blood pressure, this ratatouille was a great meal.

I did cut the olive oil, but only by about 1/3. It\'s the olive oil that has all the great nutrition, vitamins and omega 3. A recent study showed study participants who ate 4 TABLESPOONS of olive oil a day with a normal healthy menu lowered their cholesterol more than those who were on a low fat diet.

I personalize the recipe with less eggplant, more peppers, including a poblano if I can find one, and lots of brown mushrooms.

I use this dish as a vegetable dish with a roast chicken or whatever meat, on polenta, with pasta, as a side with scrambled or poached eggs, on toast under the broiler with a curl of parmesan, in chicken soup with the leftover chicken, pasta or rice, and once in the chili to accommodate unexpected company

i had never had ratatouille before i made this recipe. i\'ve heard that its a WONDERFUL dish but the recipe could not prove it. it was basically just oil and vegetables. i did like the base of it though. i would defenitley use it as a marinara for my pasta!
