A sunny recipe that will convince even the purists of Nice

An iconic dish of fine gastronomy, ratatouille brightens our plates all summer long. We like to put this version in the oven.

For some, ratatouille is reminiscent of a summer vacation. For others, family memories. To make the most of the season idleness, we choose the option to put in the oven. An alternative that is as tasty as it is practical, requiring only twenty minutes of preparation. Composed of a tomato sauce seasoned with fresh basil, where slices of eggplant, zucchini and tomato are placed in a rosette, the secret to its success lies in the choice of ingredients; “It is important to choose a tomato that is full and without pip, like the beef heart variety or Roma, with a more elongated shape,” said José Orsini in an article about the secrets of Provençal ratatouille. As for zucchini, the restaurateur at Bistrot du Port (1) in Nice recommends choosing trumpets, the seedless variety, ideal for melting in your mouth. Baked ratatouille, enjoyed with a plain fried egg or served alongside a nice piece of tuna, is the new high-season comfort food. To your stove.
