RATATOUILLE

This is a versatile dish you can serve as a side with pasta sauce or as a topping on fresh baguette for brunch. The recipe will make enough for 6-8 people when served with pasta as a main meal. Light your Wildcat oven and heat to 220C–240C. Place the shelf in the centre of the oven. Open the smoking vents. The baffle plate should be slightly open while oven is heating, then close while cooking.
