Ratatouille Two Ways: Chef Dad’s Fancy and Stew Style with a Fermented Tomato Base!

Join Chef Dad as he takes on the delightful challenge of making ratatouille, inspired by his wife’s request! But this isn’t your typical ratatouille; Chef Dad adds his unique flair with a delicious fermented tomato base and his signature smoked salt. Get ready for a culinary adventure with two fantastic styles: fancy stacked ratatouille and hearty stew-style ratatouille!

**The Flavorful Fermented Tomato Base**

1. **Creating the Sauce:** The foundation of this dish is a vibrant sauce made from fermented tomatoes, bell peppers, garlic, onion, and fresh tomatoes. The fermentation adds a depth of flavor that elevates the dish, making it truly special. Finish it off with fresh basil and Chef Dad’s smoked salt for that extra kick!

2. **Preparing the Vegetables:** The star ingredients include squash, zucchini, eggplant, and, of course, tomatoes (even though they’re technically fruits!). Slicing them just right is key to both presentation and flavor in the final dishes.

**Two Delicious Styles**

1. **Fancy Stacked Ratatouille:** Chef Dad showcases his artistic flair by layering the sliced vegetables beautifully. This elegant presentation not only looks stunning but also allows the flavors to meld as they bake. Each slice of vegetable is perfectly aligned, creating a feast for the eyes as well as the palate.

2. **Hearty Stew-Style Ratatouille:** For a more rustic approach, the stew-style ratatouille combines all the diced vegetables with the rich sauce, simmering them together until tender and flavorful. This comforting dish is perfect for cozy nights and brings warmth to the table.

**Conclusion**

Whether you prefer the fancy stacked version or the hearty stew, Chef Dad’s ratatouille is sure to impress! With smoked salt and a fermented tomato base, this dish is packed with flavor and creativity. Join us in exploring these two delicious takes on a classic French dish, and let us know which one you’d love to try!
