      Title: Alexis Gabriel Ainouz's Sexy Ratatouille
 Categories: Vegetables, Herbs
      Yield: 4 servings
 
      4 lg Tomatoes
      1    Yellow zucchini
      1    Green zucchini
      2 sm Eggplants
      1 md Onion
      2    Red bell peppers; seeded
      2 cl Garlic
           Olive oil
           Sea/kosher salt & pepper
      1 tb Chopped fresh thyme and
           - rosemary leaves
 
  Using a very sharp knife, cut the tomatoes, courgettes
  and aubergines into thin slices. As much as possible try
  to ensure all the slices are the same thickness so they
  cook evenly. Set the best-looking slices of the same
  size - at least 5cm [2"] in diameter - to one side for
  topping the ratatouille and keep the trimmings for the
  sauce.
  
  Roughly chop the onion, peppers and garlic cloves. Heat
  2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large frying pan over a
  medium heat and add the chopped veg to the pan with the
  sliced vegetable trimmings. Season with salt and pepper
  and add the thyme and rosemary leaves. Cook for 10
  minutes and then blitz in a blender to make a thick,
  orangey red sauce.
  
  Set the oven @ 180ºC/160ºC fan/350ºF/Gas
  
  Brush an ovenproof dish with oil and spoon the sauce
  into it in an even layer, about 1cm [½in] thick. Roll up
  your sleeves and arrange the reserved tomato, courgette
  and aubergine slices alternately on top of the sauce. So
  that they look really good, you need to overlap the
  slices quite tightly, a bit like the scales of a fish.
  Give the slices a final drizzle of olive oil and
  sprinkle over flakes of salt. Cover the dish with foil
  or baking parchment and bake for 30-45 minutes. Place
  the dish in the centre of the dining table and wait for
  the "wow!" that is bound to follow. If it doesn’t, take
  your dish back and eat the ratatouille in the kitchen
  all by yourself.
  
  But there’s no chance of that!
