Cooking Instructions
Before you start
- Preheat the oven to 240C / fan 220C / gas 9 / air fryer 200C
- Line 2 baking trays with parchment paper
- Pull out a large frying pan & a measuring jug
Get the chips in the oven
- Cut the potatoes into chips
- Place onto a lined baking tray and toss with 1 tbsp oil and a pinch of salt and pepper
- Roast for 25-30 mins / air fryer 20-25 mins, turning halfway, until golden
Sizzle the pork
- Heat the large frying pan with 1 tsp oil on medium-high heat
- Season the pork steaks with salt. Once the pan is hot, add the pork and cook for 6 mins per side, until golden brown, then transfer to the other lined baking tray

Simmer simmer
- Add the tomato puree and half the garlic herb paste to the veg pan. Cook for 1 min more, then stir in the chopped tomatoes, stock powder and 50ml water. Bring to a boil and simmer for 7-8 mins, until thickened. Add a splash of water if it gets too dry
- Stir the vinegar into the ratatouille. Season to taste with salt and pepper
