Ratatouille
Galton Blackiston serves up a delicious, rustic ratatouille recipe, which makes a perfect side to meat or as a vegetarian main if boosted with some crumbly feta and crusty bread. Fennel is an interesting addition to this ratatouille, giving the dish a hint of aniseed, alongside the more traditional aubergines, peppers and courgettes.
