Who doesn’t love to save time? This Ratatouille is a bit of a cheat, but tastes amazing served with crusty french bread smothered in garlic butter. If you need more than a light vegetarian meal, add these punchy meatballs made with our new favourite pantry staples from Pepper & Me. Check out the video here.

2 courgettes, sliced
1 small eggplant, cut into chunks
1 capsicum, sliced

1t brown sugar
salt & pepper, to taste
Throw everything in a crockpot and voila!
