Ratatouille

A vegetarian classic which is very easy in the slow cooker.

A rich tomato based dish with flavours of basil. A midweek meal that definitely gets in those 5 a day, rammed full of veg and flavour! (No rats were harmed in the making of this dish)

I served mine up with some sourdough bread (part baked).

Directions

1. Fry off the onion, followed by the garlic followed by the rest of the veg
