An autumnal ratatouille and a Japanese sea weed. モズクmozuku is a sea weed from Okinawa that looks like small leaves in a jelly. They are sold already prepared or with a sauce aside like here.

I mixed the mozuku sea weed with its sauce (sweet vinegar) and added a few pieces of ginger. That can be drunk like a little soup.

Grill’tatouille

That’s a kind of magic. Raw veggies taste great. Fried veggies are totally different, and taste great. Roasted veggies are another thing… Classic ratatouille is fried veggies. What happens when you roast instead ?

A delight !

Ratatouille veggies…

Super-veggies ! I piled them, but each has its roasting time under the grill.




Then combined :

With tomato, olive oil and red pepper sauce. Simmer the time they can suck in the sauce.

Coated in red.

Mmmmm…

Hot ratatouille vs chilled ratat’ cannelloni

Vote ! Or make a huge batch so you can eat both.

Well that’s nearly a classic ratatouille. Except that I skipped the zucchini. I had none.

More ratatouilles…

It’s delicious freshly made, piping hot. And cold too. That’s great as there are few dishes that are as delicious at all temperatures.

What to say ? Boiled pasta, refreshed in iced water, filled with cooled ratatouille. Glazed with sweet chili sauce.

It’s a very refreshing first dish.
