Ratatouille Recipe by Grasshoppers - WDRB 41 Louisville - News, Weather, Sports Community

Jim Whaley, Local Food Chef at Grasshoppers, and Lynn Greene, Sales & Marketing Director, stopped into our studio to whip up some all-natural Ratatouille.

1 small to medium sized onion

2 garlic cloves, very thinly sliced

1 tomato

3 tablespoons olive oil, divided

1 small eggplant

1 zucchini

1 yellow squash

1 red bell pepper

2 sprigs fresh thyme and 1 small bunch basil

Salt and pepper

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Using a mandoline or a sharp knife, cut the eggplant, zucchini, yellow squash, tomato, onion and red pepper into very thin slices.

Arrange slices of vegetables in the baking dish, overlapping slightly. Place basil leaves between vegetables and sprinkle thyme leaves over the top of the dish.

Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables and season with salt and pepper. Cover dish with a piece of parchment paper cut to fit inside.

Bake for approximately 45 to 55 minutes, until vegetables have released their liquid and are tender.

Grasshoppers has improvised on this model, to offer a multi-farm, all-natural and organically grown program that provides beef, chicken, pork, milk, cheese, and eggs as well as produce. Many of our CSA farms also have their own CSAs and sell at Farmers' Markets or other outlets. Our program provides them with a stable market and fair prices for the additional crops they can produce, creating another stream of income on the farm.
