Ratatouille on the BGE - 🐭

Been wanting to do some ratatouille for a while and since I’m in the middle of a diet, I figured this is as good of a time as ever.

I wanted a nice little sear on the veggies, so I used my Arteflame insert on this cook.

Not a traditional ratatouille at all. More rustic since I don’t have the patience to slice all the veg. But came out really good!

  • Love it. Beautiful cook. Hope you watched the movie afterwards.Ā 

    If you don’t mind my asking, is the diet for weight loss, or unrelated to weight management?

    Very nice looking cook!Ā 
    I also like the plancha style insert you have there. Does the lid stay open or close during the cook?

    Weight loss. I got a little carried away over this past winter. Goal is tp lose 50# and after 2 months down 31# as of this morning! Portion control, cooking A LOT of fish, intermittent fasting, water and no beer. Still a little alcohol, but cut way back on the booze too!

    Depends on what I’m cooking. For this one I still closed the dome about 50% of the cook.

    But some hot and fast cooks I’ll leave it open if I’m looking to get the plancha super hot! šŸ”„ If you’ve never seen it before, it’s the BGE insert by Arteflame. It’s a great piece. I also have a couple of their ā€œfree standingā€ grills too.

    Great to hear, and thanks for sharing. Congrats to you for the great progress. I also like intermittent fasting for weight control. For me, it’s the best solution, because it doesn’t curb my ability to eat anything and doesn’t derail meals/put anyone out when socializing with others. My father did it when I was growing ups. Still does, and has always maintained a very healthy weight.Ā
