Step-by-step recipe

check things off as you go

  1. Prep the vegetables

    Cut the zucchini, eggplant and red bell pepper into 2 cm cubes. Slice the onion and garlic, then cut the 6 tomatoes into chunks.

  2. Sauté the onion and garlic

    Heat half the olive oil over medium heat in the skillet, then sauté the onion and garlic for 3 minutes, stirring.

  3. Sear the eggplant and bell pepper

    Add the eggplant and bell pepper, season with salt and pepper and cook for 5 minutes over medium-high heat, stirring often.

  4. Add the zucchini and tomatoes

    Add the zucchini, tomatoes and herbes de Provence. Cover and let it simmer for 12 minutes over low heat, until the vegetables are tender.

    Tip · If the ratatouille looks dry, add a small splash of water rather than oil; the tomatoes already give off plenty of juice.

  5. Add the hake

    Season the 2 hake fillets (about 300 g total) with salt and pepper. Make two wells in the ratatouille and nestle the fillets in, then drizzle them with the rest of the olive oil.

  6. Cook the fish, covered

    Cover and cook for 6 to 8 minutes over low heat, until the flesh flakes easily and is opaque all the way through.

    Tip · Don't flip the fillets, they'd fall apart. The steam under the lid is enough to cook them through.

  7. Plate and serve

    Taste the ratatouille and adjust the seasoning. Divide the vegetables between two plates and set a hake fillet on each.
