SERVES 8 PREP 25 mins COOK 40 mins (1 hr 20 mins from frozen) EASY

1 tbsp olive oil

2 aubergines, cubed

6 garlic cloves, sliced

5 mixed peppers, deseeded and cut into large chunks 3 large courgettes, cut into chunky batons 680g passata

300ml vegetable stock small pack basil, chopped, a few leaves reserved to serve for the salmon

125g tub garlic cream cheese (we used Boursin Light) 100g low-fat cream cheese 40g fresh breadcrumb­s 40g pine nuts, roughly chopped 8 skinless salmon fillets crusty bread, to serve (optional) 1 Heat the oil in a non-stick wok or pan, add the aubergine and cook for 5 mins, stirring, until softening and browning. Add the garlic and stir for a few secs, then tip in the peppers, courgette, passata, stock and half the basil. Season and cover. Cook for 20 mins, stirring occasional­ly, until the veg are just tender. Cool, stir in the rest of the basil and spoon into eight 250ml ovenproof dishes or foil containers. 2 For the salmon, beat together the cheeses. Mix the breadcrumb­s and nuts on a plate. Spread the cheese on the top of each salmon fillet, then dip in the nutty crumbs. Put a fillet on top of each ratatouill­e-filled dish. 3 Can be frozen in sealed freezer bags for up to six weeks. Bake for 15 mins, or, to cook from frozen, unwrap the dishes and put on a baking tray in a cold oven. Bake for 55 mins at 200C/180C fan/gas 6 until the fish is cooked. Check after 30 mins – if the crumbs are browning too much, cover with foil. Scatter with basil leaves and eat with crusty bread.
