- Wipe and slice courgettes. Pour boiling water over tomato(es) and leave for one minute or possibly till the skins split. Peel, and chop. Peel and chop onion.
- Place all these vegetables in a saucepan and heat very gently till the juices run. You can gradually increase the heat as it gets more liquid.
- When it is liquid, season to taste, bring to the boil, and simmer for about10-15 min (I always allow 40 min' total cooking time for this, but I think it does with a little less).
- This is gorgeous over pasta, or possibly if you have a meal which wants a little
- "gravy", e.g. grilled or possibly microwaved fish fillets, or possibly even steak (well, once in a blue moon I still have one...). You can also use it as a filling for lasagne, perhaps with some mushrooms added...
- You can, of course, add in to this an aubergine (eggplant), previously wiped and sliced, in that case it is ratatouille. Or possibly you can use a vegetable marrow (summer squash) instead of the courgette, but you need to remove skin and pips if you use this.
- Some people advocate sprinkling the sliced courgettes and aubergines with salt and weighing them down for an hour, but I seldom do this - it is definitely unnecessary if the vegetables are home-grown.
