Magimix MULTIFUNCTION STEAMER - Manual (Page 50)

48 Vegetables
Preparation: 25 min
Cooking: 60 min at 100° Serves 4
2 aubergines
1 red pepper
1 green pepper
2 courgettes
4 large tomatoes
3 large onions
3 garlic cloves
2 sprigs thyme
2 sprigs rosemary
4 tbsp olive oil
Wash the vegetables, deseed the peppers, and
dice the aubergines, peppers and courgettes. Peel
and chop the onion and garlic.
Pour a litre of water into the water tank. Spread the
aubergines and peppers in one of the steamer
baskets, put the lid on and cook for 15 min. Place
the courgettes in the other basket and add to the
steamer 5 min later. Add the tomatoes 3 min
before the end of the cooking time. Allow to drain.
Plunge the tomatoes into cold water, remove their
skins, deseed and cut into quarters.
In a pan, gently fry the chopped onion and garlic
in olive oil for 5 min. Add the diced aubergine and
pepper and simmer over a low heat for 10 min.
Add the courgettes and tomatoes, season with salt,
pepper, thyme, rosemary and simmer with the lid
off for 30 min. Serve hot or cold.
This method yields an intensely-flavoured
ratatouille that is not at all watery.
