Ratatouille like in a cartoon

Wash greens and vegetables for ratatouille. Cut the zucchini and eggplant into medium-sized pieces. Zucchini is better to choose a young and tender zucchini, it does not have a hard peel and no seeds. We clean the sweet pepper from the seeds and also cut into large pieces. Pour boiling water over the tomatoes, when they cool a little, remove the peel from them and chop them. Finely chop the onion and garlic, chop the greens.

Heat a frying pan on the stove, add oil and fry the onion and ½ of the garlic for 3 minutes. Add chopped eggplant and also fry for about 3 minutes. Then add pepper and continue to fry for another 2-3 minutes. Then add zucchini, mix and cook for 3 minutes. Now you can add tomatoes, salt, season, cover and simmer over low heat for no more than half an hour. Provencal herbs are ideal for ratatouille - fennel, cumin, rosemary, basil and mint.

Then turn off the heat, add the rest of the garlic, herbs to the ratatouille and, closing the lid, let it brew for 10 minutes.
