How to Cook Ratatouille | Alex French Guy Cooking 

it's kinda weird watching Alex's finished his recipe in just one video 😅it usually takes 3-10 episodes

Ingredients: 2 red onions 4 cloves garlic 2 aubergines 3 courgettes 3 peppers (he used 2 yellow and 1 green) 6 ripe tomatoes (he used 5 red and one yellow) Tinned plum tomatoes Basil ( half a bunch of fresh basil ) 2 tbsp olive oil Thyme leaves Balsamic vinegar Sea salt Black pepper Lemon (to grate lemon zest onto it for serving) Preparation 1. Peel and cut onions into wedges. 2. Peel and finely slice 2 cloves of garlic. 3. Trim the aubergines and courgettes, and deseed the peppers, and chop into 2. 5cm chunks. 4. Roughly chop the tomatoes. 5. Tear off the leaves and set aside. Then finely slice the stalks. Cooking 1. Heat 2 tbsp of olive oil in a large casserole pan or large saucepan over a medium heat. 2. Add the chopped aubergines, courgettes, and peppers, and fry for about 5 minutes or until golden and softened but not cooked through. [If your saucepan is too small you can do it in several batches]. 3. Spoon the veg into a large bowl 4. Into the same pan, add the onion, garlic, basil stalks, and thyme leaves, and fry for 10-15 minutes or until softened and golden. 5. Now, return the cooked veg to the pan, and stir in the fresh and tinned tomatoes. 6. Add balsamic vinegar, a good pinch of seas salt, and some freshly ground black pepper. 7. At this stage you have two options: a. The more you mix it (i. e. stir it with your wooden spoon, the more silky it will get; b. The less you mix it the more pretty it will be at the end. It s a tough choice, really! 8. Simmer over a low heat for 30-35 minutes, or until reduced. At the end it should be sticky & sweet. To Serve Add some basil leaves and finely grate some lemon zest over the top of each meal, too. Finally, adjust the seasoning.

Great to see Alex on Food Tube :)

Merci , mon ami!

Supreme master television ✨

Everyone go watch his channel, It is amazing what he does!

Yummmy 😋

And the dish, of course =)

WE LOVE ALEX ❤️

Alex , simply the best, my favorite chef !

You should make ratatouille confit byaldi next

Hey Alex You did not put tinned tomatoes. did you?

re-upload?

It’s already midnight here now. Why am I watching this

an alex recipe without an electric drill?? im shocked

the way you taught it to cook is really great and really amazing i loved it a very great and lovely recipe thanks for the video and a lot of love from planet ayurveda

I LOVE his accent😚

Yum So it’s basically veggie stew?

Does Alex have a book? With these amazing French recipes?

Like.Delicious

my boyyyy

Always love your style/approach ... but I'm somehow surprised your RATATOUILLE doesn't involve a sprig of Rosemary and Thyme, it's not the same for me without at least Rosemary!? Good thing that you returned to some simple cooking stuff, Great! (didn't watch for a while) ... will check now the vids i've missed ;)

His accent is such a pleasure

I love ratatouille

I knew i saw this before it was on the family food tube and alex is in a different studio

Wow, this is pre le studio!

Loveee

Repeat video, it was initially upload a few years ago.

Wow, that's his own kitchen before he built his studio. Expected a new video from London.

Did anyone write down the recipe?

This man is adorable =)

I just accidentally made this and then realised I’d made a ratatouille by looking it up on here....and here i am. It just makes sense to put those things together. They just feel right. Must be my french ancestors teaching me from the grave lol.

Ive been eating ratatouille my whole lif and i didnt know it

Easiest, simplest ratatouille recipe I've seen. I'll do it this way from now on.

Super cool Alex! Mais pourquoi présenter la ratatouille en hiver ??? Ratatouille =/ Winter

oh Ratatouille, the movie. I hope it's the same dish that got the food taster back to his childhood haha

Alex what are you doing here, your channel is far better then jame's one!!

#throwback alex

i guess "sambhar" is the south-indian spicy version of this.. sambhar is usually taken alongside steamed rice/idli/dosa..
