recipe review- Ratatouille from My Way of Cooking

[merlot]

just made this for lunch. I put the breadcrumbs on top so had reduced the cooking time to 20min. I checked at 10min and it was looking GOOD!! and came back at 19min and in my opinion it was a little overcooked.  The bite-sized vegetable pieces were no longer nicely together-looking and it had started to mush up a bit.  So i imagine at the suggested cooking time of 30min it would be well and truely too mooshy.

But quantities are good, and the flavour lovely.

I'm going to do it again but keep an eye on it from about 12min onwards.  Either that or reduced the cooking temp.

I made the topping in the TMX too with two slices of frozen seeded bread, a couple of chunks of parmasen cheese grated together. Then i added some fresh chopped basil and parsely.  Sprinkled it all over the ratatouille, then dotted it with a few small bits of butter.

Thanks.  Must say I still haven't had a good look thru the recipes.

i really should visit here more often!
yeah, i've made it since. i just cook for 15min in the TMX.

i also stir tinned chickpeas though it now when i put it in the pie dish, maybe half the tin??

Have to agree with cooking times - we ended up with vegetable mash rather than the definite pieces you would expect - no doubt less cooking is the way to go, as the flavour is great!
