The scents and colors of Provençal ratatouille that come to us from the shores of France add a Mediterranean touch to a more continental preparation, the classic omelet.

Preparation
For the ratatouille:
Wash all vegetables.
Cut zucchini and eggplant lengthwise.
Cut the peppers in half, remove the seeds, then cut out lozenges.
Quickly blanch the tomatoes, cool them in ice water, then peel them, cut them into quarters and remove the seeds.
Grease some baking molds and begin preparing the ratatouille by arranging the zucchini and eggplant on the outside and filling the center with the peppers and tomato petals. Season with salt and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
Bake the ratatouille in a 180° C oven for 10 to 15 minutes.
When it is ready, sprinkle it with the fresh herb leaves.
For rice:
Cook the basmati rice in a saucepan by adding three times its volume of water, a pinch of salt and the garlic clove.
Season with a little extra virgin olive oil, remove the garlic, and set the rice aside.
For the omelet:
Beat two eggs at a time (two per omelet) adding a pinch of salt.
Heat an omelet pan with a little extra virgin olive oil.
Pour the eggs into the pan and cook them without browning.
For presentation:
Arrange the ratatouille, basmati rice, and omelet on a serving platter.
Garnish with the leaves of fresh herbs.
