Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 1 pepper, deseeded and thinly sliced
- 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 1 aubergine, diced
- 2 courgettes, diced
- 1 tsp balsamic vinegar
- 400g tin chopped tomatoes
- 4 large eggs
- Handful of fresh basil leaves
Method
Heat the oil in a large frying pan. Add the onion, pepper, and garlic, then cook for 5 mins, stirring frequently, until the onion has softened. Add the aubergine and courgettes, then cook for 2 mins more.
Add the tomatoes, then fill the can with water, swirl it around and tip into the pan. Bring to the boil, cover, then simmer for 40 mins, uncovering after 20 mins, until reduced and pulpy.
Stir the vinegar into the ratatouille, then make 4 spaces for the eggs. Crack an egg into each hole and season with black pepper. Cover, then cook for 2-5 mins until set as softly or firmly as you like. Scatter over the basil and serve with some crusty bread to mop up the juices.
