Ratatouille
Ratatouille made in the slow cooker comes out surprisingly crisp-tender.
INGREDIENTS | SERVES 4
1 onion, roughly chopped
1 eggplant, sliced horizontally
2 zucchini, sliced
1 cubanelle pepper, sliced
3 tomatoes, cut into wedges
2 tablespoons minced fresh basil
2 tablespoons minced fresh Italian parsley
¼ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 ounces tomato paste
¼ cup water
Place the onion, eggplant, zucchini, pepper, and tomatoes into a 4-quart slow cooker. Sprinkle with basil, parsley, salt, and pepper.
