Add the eggplant, zucchini and bell pepper and cook, stirring, 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes and their juices, the broth and half of the basil. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer 20 minutes.
• Preheat the broiler. Brush the bread with olive oil; sprinkle with the remaining 2 teaspoons herbes de Provence and salt to taste. Broil until lightly toasted. Top with the cheese, then broil until melted.

RATATOUILLE SOUP

Steps:

• Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large Dutch oven or pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion and 1/4 teaspoon salt; cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and golden, about 4 minutes.
• Reduce the heat to medium and add the eggplant and garlic. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggplant is just golden and starts softening, about 4 minutes. Add the tomatoes; cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes just start breaking down, about 3 minutes.
• Add the broth, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cover and bring to a simmer, then uncover and cook until the eggplant is tender, about 10 minutes. Add the squash and continue simmering until tender, about 5 more minutes; season with salt and pepper.
• Combine the parsley, parmesan, lemon juice and the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a small bowl. Top each bowl of soup with some parsley mixture; serve with bread.

GRILLED PORK AND RATATOUILLE

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium high. Combine 1 cup warm water, 2 tablespoons salt, 1 tablespoon brown sugar and half of the ginger in a large bowl; stir until dissolved. Add the pork chops; cover with cold water. Let sit 10 minutes. Drain and pat dry; season with salt.
• Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the remaining ginger and the red pepper flakes and cook until the ginger sizzles, 2 minutes. Add the vinegar and the remaining 3 tablespoons brown sugar. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the glaze thickens, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer 2 tablespoons to a small bowl for basting; set aside the rest for serving.
• Brush the grill grates with olive oil. Toss the eggplant, zucchini, scallions and tomatoes with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large bowl; season with salt. Grill the vegetables until tender, 3 to 5 minutes per side; transfer the scallions to a cutting board and transfer the rest of the vegetables to a large bowl. Grill the pork chops until marked and cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes per side, basting with the reserved glaze during the last few minutes.
• Chop the scallions; add to the vegetables along with the basil. Top the pork chops with the remaining glaze. Serve with the vegetables.
• Shishitos, small Japanese peppers, are usually mild, but beware: One in every dozen or so is super spicy!

HERB & GARLIC PORK WITH SUMMER RATATOUILLE

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large non-stick pan and fry the onions for 5 mins or until softened. Stir in the peppers, aubergine, courgettes and garlic, and cook, stirring, for a few mins. Tip in the tomatoes and 1 can of water, then stir in the bouillon, thyme and basil stalks. Cover and simmer for 20 mins or until tender. Stir through the basil leaves.
• Meanwhile, rub the pork with the garlic, then scatter with the thyme and some black pepper, patting it so it sticks all over. Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan and cook the pork for about 12 mins, turning frequently so it browns on all sides, until tender but still moist. Cover and rest for 5 mins.
• If you're making this as part of the Healthy Diet Plan, set aside half of the pork to use in the curried pork bulghar salad later in the week and store in the fridge once cooled. Chill the half of the ratatouille and use it to make the ratatouille pasta salad with rocket for another day. If you are serving four you can skip this step.
• To serve, slice the pork and serve with the ratatouille, some brown rice or new potatoes and some extra thyme.

Stir in squash, bell peppers, 2 tablespoons oil, and more kosher salt and roast mixture, stirring occasionally, until bell peppers are tender, 25 to 30 minutes.
• While vegetables are roasting, simmer tomatoes, garlic, thyme, remaining 2 tablespoons oil, and kosher salt in a heavy saucepan, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 12 to 15 minutes. Stir tomatoes into roasted vegetables and season ratatouille.
• Cook penne rigate in a 6-qt. pot of boiling salted water until al dente and drain. While pasta is cooking, stir parsley and basil into ratatouille and season. Toss penne rigate with 1/3 of ratatouille and serve topped with remainder.
