Method
Then season all the vegetables together in a bowl with 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil, salt and pepper, mix well, and add the rosemary and mint to flavour. Add a drizzle of oil to a large frying pan and arrange the sliced vegetables in the pan alternating by vegetable: onion, courgette, aubergine, tomato and pepper and then start again until the outer circle is formed, then continue with an inner circle to cover the pan. Add 2 tablespoons of oil, another pinch of salt, the thyme and chopped parsley and a small cup of water. Cook the ratatouille on medium heat for 10 minutes, with the lid on, then lift the lid and check; if the bottom is too dry, add another drizzle of oil and if necessary, a few spoonfuls of water. Complete cooking for another 5 – 6 minutes, just enough time for the vegetables to be soft, but at the same time still with a little bite and colourful!
Garnish with a few baby salad leaves just before serving.
