Ingredients

1 aubergine, diced
2 large courgettes (diced)
150ml olive oil
2 onions (finely chopped)
2 garlic cloves (finely chopped)
1 red pepper (diced)
1 yellow pepper (diced)
8 tomatoes, skinned (deseeded and roughly chopped)
4 sprigs of thyme
1 tbsp tomato purée
2 tsp sugar
4 tbsp chopped basil
70g unsalted butter (melted)
250g Gruyère cheese (grated)
sea salt and black pepper

Pancake ingredients
100g plain flour
2 medium eggs
300ml full-fat milk
20g unsalted butter (melted)
pinch of salt
1 tsp sugar
sunflower oil for frying

Method

- Sift the flour into a bowl and make a well in the centre.
- Whisk the eggs and flour.
- Add milk and melted butter.
- Mix in the salt and sugar and then leave the batter to rest for 20 minutes.
- Grease frying pan, add enough batter to cover the base thinly.
- Cook until golden, then flip the pancake and cook the other side.
- Stack the pancakes up, separating them with greaseproof paper. Make sure you oil the pan before cooking each pancake.
- Put the diced aubergine in a colander, sprinkle lightly with salt and leave for at least 30 minutes to draw out the water.
- Fry onions, garlic and peppers until soft.
- Transfer the vegetables to a heavy-based saucepan.
- Add the courgettes, onions and peppers, along with the tomatoes and thyme.
- Now add the remaining oil to the frying pan and add the aubergine, frying it until it's tender.
- Add to the other vegetables and season lightly. Put the pan over a low heat and simmer.
- Stir in the tomato purée, sugar and basil and cook for 5 minutes longer, then season to taste.
- Lay each pancake flat on a work surface, add the ratatouille, and wrap up the pancakes like a spring roll.
- Place pancakes on a greased baking tray, brush the tops with the remaining melted butter.
- Sprinkle with the Gruyère. Bake in an oven preheated to 180°C/gas mark 4 for 25–30 minutes, until the pancakes are heated through.
