Ricetatouille- a Rice Ratatouille


When we first moved in together he came complete with a cookbook entitled Cooking for One. Back then, cooking was not ranking very high in my list of preoccupations but when I was eating, I was eating for five. So Cooking for One ended up in the cupboard till the other day.......

When I was looking for a bit of inspiration. You see this book is a thin but solid, no nonsense, type of recipe book with some innovative recipes such as Beef Crumble and more traditional others such ratatouille , a  dish which has long been a  favourite of mine.

This is rustic and "clever" ratatouille. The rice is cook in the same pot as the vegetables so there is no need for several pans -clever-. It takes about 25 minutes, it is full of  vegetables and the starch in the rice water give this dish a nice consistency.
