Ratatouille w/ crispy pork


Tonight's food was inspired from my dinner last week at Gordon Ramsay Resto´@ Claridge Hotel London,The Crispy Pork!
Ratatouille a vegetable stew typical of Provençal cookery,originally from Nice,w/c is now found all over south-east France and is popular abroad. The word derived from the French touiller (to mix or stir) ,at first designated an unappetizing stew.
A ratatouille from Nice (Ratatouille Niçoise )is made from onions,courgettes,eggplants,sweet bell peppers and tomatoes simmered in olive oils w/ herbs. It accompanies roasts,sautéed chicken,or small cuts of meat,as well as braised fish,omelttes and scrambled eggs.According to the purists,the different vegetables should be cooked slowly together until they attain a smooth,creamy consistency.
