Ratatouille and Crème de Brie L’Extra verrines
Author :
Josée Robitaille, consulting chef
You can prepare the ratatouille 3-4 days ahead of time and keep it in the refrigerator. You’ll see: its flavours will improve over time! When serving, heat the ratatouille 10-15 minutes over low heat, then coat with Crème de Brie L’Extra.
Got some ratatouille left? Serve it on quinoa, on pasta or as a side dish for grilled lamb chops!
In a large thick-bottomed pot, heat a filet of oil over medium high heat. Add the onion, thyme and bay leaf and brown for 5 minutes.
Add a generous filet of oil. Add eggplant, salt liberally and cook for 8 minutes. Add garlic, zucchini and peppers. Season. Cook, stirring often, for 4-5 minutes. Add tomatoes, season and cook for another 20 minutes over medium low heat, covered. Check seasoning.
Serve in small glasses. In the microwave oven, heat the Crème de Brie L’Extra 10-20 seconds or until the cheese is runny. Cover the ratatouille with Crème de Brie L’Extra, garnish with thyme and serve with a little spoon.
