Ratatouille is a traditional Provençal stewed vegetable dish that can be served as a meal on its own, accompanied by rice, potatoes or French bread, or as a side dish. This version of the recipe is ideal for kids, simple to make, and very healthy.

Ingredients

• 1 tin (400 g) baked beans
• 1 onion, finely diced/chopped
• 1 zucchini (courgettes), finely chopped
• 1 red bell pepper, finely chopped
• 1 green bell pepper, finely chopped
• 1 clove garlic, chopped/crushed (optional)

Procedure

1. Put a pan on the stove on medium heat.
2. Gently fry the onion and garlic in a little oil—5 minutes should be enough to start to make them soft.
3. Add the peppers and courgette and continue to fry gently for a further 4–5 minutes until the ingredients soften.
4. Add the beans and warm through.
5. Serve in a bowl on its own or with toast.
