My favourite meal

Hello everyone, today our topic is ♥FOOD♥. I really love food, I like coocking it and eating it.

I don't really have a favoutite meal, it depends on the occasion, who made it, my mood, the wather, etc. 

If I think like foodie. My grandmother cook the best pizzas and bread. My boyfriend cook really good "porotos con riendas" and "calzones rotos". And my sister, even when she doesn´t cook often, cook perfect fries. I have my favourite meal  for every cook.

When I think like a cook, my  favourite recipes are all vegan: hummus, falafel cinnamon rolls and ratatouille. This are cheap and easy recipies, everyone can cook it. When I cook this dishes I don´t tell people that are vegan food, until they taste them, because many people have prejudices. A lot of people think that vegan food is unsavory, flavorless or boring. I want to change people's minds. I want to prove that vegan food can be delicious. With vegetables, legumes and condiments anyone can cook a healthy and tasty meal.

I cooked ratatouille for christmas. I celebrated it with my family (meat lovers). Everyone enjoy the meal and some of my relatives ask me for the recipe. In internet you can find many ways to cook it, the recipe I follow is : 

Ratatouille

http://www.recetaratatouille.com

Ingredients:

-1 large eggplant 

-1 zucchini

-1 large tomato

-1 green pepper 

-1 red pepper 

-2 cloves of garlic 

- olive oil 

- salt, pepper 

- Herbs: Parsley, oregano, rosemary, thyme, basil 

Preparation:

We will start with the eggplant, wash it well, remove the top part and cut it into slices. Between half and one centimeter is a suitable thickness.We are going to leave the slices of eggplant in water for 15-20 minutes. They'll lose that bitter touch they have, and then we drain them well.
We'll do the same with the zucchini, tomato and peppers , wash it, remove the stem and cut into slices of the same previous thickness.Peel the garlic cloves and chop them finely. Reserve them for later.
Light the oven and put it at 180ºC .Pour some virgin olive oil in the bottom of the oven tray, and on top of it place layers of vegetables
Add a good amount of herbs, a little salt and chopped parsley together with the garlic that we had previously chopped. You can also do this by mixing a little virgin olive oil with herbs and garlic. You should try that all the slices are impregnated
Put the Ratatouille in the oven and let it bake for half an hour
We recommend do not eat it freshly made,  leave it to rest. The flavor will be more intense, and it stays perfectly in the refrigerator for several days.
