Ratatouille on a crispy galette

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 20 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   For the sauce, peel and finely chop the onion and garlic. Heat a couple of tablespoons of olive oil in a frying pan and simmer the onion and half the garlic in it until translucent for 5 minutes. Peel and finely chop the pepper, add to the frying pan and simmer together for 5 minutes.

2. STEP 2

   

   Remove the skin from the tomatoes (to do this, they need to be pierced with vetch and scalded with boiling water).

3. STEP 3

   

   Beat the tomatoes in a blender along with the chili pepper (or finely chop) and add them to the pan with the onions and garlic. Add bay leaf, thyme and parsley. Boil over medium heat for 10 minutes. Salt, pepper, remove bay leaf and cool.

4. STEP 4

   

   While we are preparing the sauce, cut the remaining vegetables into thin slices: tomatoes, eggplants and zucchini. Grease the eggplants with olive oil and place on a baking sheet and bake at 200 degrees for 20 minutes.

5. STEP 5

   

   For the dough, pour vegetable oil and beer into a bowl, add salt, add flour and knead into a soft dough. Once the dough has formed into a ball, it is ready to use.

6. STEP 6

   

   Place baking paper on a baking sheet and knead the dough with your fingers into a circle 3-4 cm thick. Knead the edges of the dough (about 2 cm wide) so that they are thinner than the middle. Spread the sauce on the dough without going beyond the edges.

7. STEP 7

   

   We lay out, alternating, slices of vegetables on the sauce so that they form a spiral from the middle to the edges of the dough.

8. STEP 8

   

   Sprinkle with the rest of the chopped garlic, salt and pepper. Raise the edges of the dough, covering the filling with them. Sprinkle the vegetables with olive oil and place in a preheated oven at 180 degrees for 45 minutes.

9. STEP 9

   

   Bon appetit!

It looks beautiful for summer! At first I thought it wasn’t for me, but I took a closer look, I had to pay attention and..... my husband will definitely like the dough, he likes it crispy. ...I’m already silent about beer. And the sauce and filling are very much mine. Thank you Natasha: such a published recipe helps you look at the dish “from all sides” and discover something new. THANK YOU!!!!

Dear recipe author. What can I say... I was left without dinner. Of course, I don’t pretend to have a master’s degree in culinary arts, and I’m not particularly experienced in this matter, but judging by the recipe, this dish cannot fail even in the crooked hands. However, let me rub your nose into a couple of nuances (sorry for being harsh, but after wasting an hour going to the store, 1.5 hours cooking and 45 minutes waiting, it’s hard to control myself): 1. The composition of the dish is inconveniently indicated. You have broken down the ingredients into their components (sauce, dough, filling). Perhaps this is the custom here, but when I see 3 tomatoes in one place and tomatoes in another place, standing in the store, it’s inconvenient to add up this amount in my mind for each ingredient. Write the total quantity.2. During the cooking process, from somewhere you suddenly got a chili pepper that was not listed in the composition (neither in the sauce, nor in the filling, nor, of course, in the dough). This is bad, for example, I don’t always have pepper in stock.3. I simmered the sauce for the prescribed 10 minutes and kept waiting for it to become a sauce... Even after 20 minutes it looked more like borscht slurry. The extinguishing time is not correct.4. Well, the saddest thing is that baking paper and this dough did not work well for me. I took the most expensive paper from the available items on the counter. I did everything strictly according to the recipe. The result is in a bucket. I would attach a photo, but alas, according to local rules, it seems that newcomers are not supposed to be given this opportunity (special thanks to the site Administration), and I registered just to leave this comment. It is impossible to tear ratatouille off the paper!! If you want, come to Krasnodar, I’ll treat you. I haven’t taken out the garbage bag yet. I give advice to everyone who will cook: use a SILICONE MAT and simmer the sauce until the liquid completely boils away (this is obviously more than 10 minutes, three times, especially if the stove is electric).

I don’t presume to judge the recipe itself - I haven’t prepared it, but here’s a list of products to buy that would probably be a good help.

What an interesting galette, I want to try it! Please tell me what can I replace beer with? (As a matter of principle, we do not drink or use alcohol)
