Ratatouille 

Ah, finally, a savoury contribution from me. This is really easy and yummy and delicious served with polenta (http://www.superkitchenmachine.com/2011/15193/polenta-fries-thermomix-recipe.html) or rice and a sprinkle of feta on the top. I double the amount here but cook in in two batches as the veggies take up a lot of space.

The recipe comes from Journal of a French Foodie. Mais oui!

120g onion, peeled and quartered

1 shallot, peeled and halved (optional)

1 clove garlic

20g olive oil

200g zucchini, chopped

300g eggplant, chopped

300g ripe tomatoes, chopped

100g red capsicum, chopped

big handful basil leaves, torn

big handful parsley, chopped

2 sprigs thyme

salt and pepper

- Chop onion, shallot, garlic 7sec/speed 5. Scrape down.

- Add oil and cook 5 mins/100deg/speed spoon/reverse. Cut vegetables into large chunks (by hand!) while this is cooking.

- Add vegetables with the thyme sprigs, season and cook 30 mins/100 deg/speed spoon/reverse

- Remove thyme, pour into a serving dish and stir through basil and parsley.
