A tasty vegan ratatouille recipe that all of your guests will enjoy
This tasty vegan ratatouille recipe really does make my mouth water.
It has a wonderful depth to it, it’s full of fresh vegetables and it’s very filling.
Is there any meat in ratatouille?
Not in this one, no.
This is a wonderful mixture of aubergines (eggplants), peppers, onions and courgettes (zucchini) .
We mix them with garlic, thyme and basil and create a wonderful tasty tomato sauce and my goodness, it’s fantastic!
Should I have white or brown rice with ratatouille?
Of course that’s totally up to you.
However it is worth knowing that brown rice has all the fibre still in it, whereas white rice has had it all removed.
Vegans do tend to get a good deal of fibre but it’s good to top up.
Just make sure that you read the cooking instructions for brown rice as it takes longer to cook than white rice.
What can I serve vegan ratatouille with?
As you can see, we served ours with rice but you could quite easily serve it with a vegan pasta.
A nice hunk of fresh bread is an excellent food to serve this with, you can mop up any excess sauce with it.
You can also serve any leftovers that you may have over a nice hot baked potato or even have them for lunch the next day on toast – it’s so versatile!
