How far will one dish stretch?
I decided to make a huge ratatouille, so in went the six tins of chopped tomatoes, four cloves of garlic, four large oinions, four courgettes, an aubergine, two peppers and half a bottle of tomatoe suauce. Slow cookers are so handy. 🙂
Then I thought, well, I can use this as a base for other dishes instead of freezing it and lo!
First of all we were going to have tacos, so in went in some of the ratatouille into a frying pan, followed by some canneallini beans and a tin of re-fried beans. Add some fajita seasoning and away we go!!! This was tasty and was great cold the next day as an accompaniment to salad.
Secondly, I served it actually as ratatouilleee with some rice.
Thirdly, I used it as a base for pasta bake. – Now I was also planning on turning it into a soup, but we’ve had lots of guests including Al’s cousin Phillippa and her boyfriend, and my mum and dad, – so I sort of ran out!
