Ratatouille

Do you like karaoke? In your place, karaoke may mean a pub where you must sing old songs in front of many people who you don't know. But here in Japan, you usually sing all released songs at a small room just for your group.

The "karaoke box" used to be simple without food or drinks and mainly for the younger generation. However, I was surprised by the latest full-serviced-karaoke system such as family room, free drinks, party room with meal and free alcohol, lunch service for ladies etc. It seems like a total entertainment complex for whole generation to enjoy for a day!

Recently I feel happy to see many fresh summer vegetables this season. One of my favorite cooking styles using summer vegetables is ratatouille. Please add some red wine if you have some spare!

Ingredients:

tomato

carrot

egg plant

capsicum

onion

red wine (or some water)

salt

garlic
bay leaf

1- Cut the vegetables into small pieces.

2- Fry the chopped garlic and egg plant with some olive oil. Then put it away.

3- Fry carrot, onion and capsicum until it's cooked, then add tomato, 2, wine and a bay leaf.

4- Adjust the taste with salt.
