Boh\u00e9mienne<\/em> is the French word for \u2018bohemian.\u2019 It\u2019s also the name given to a flavorful yet delicate Proven\u00e7al eggplant and tomato casserole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boh\u00e9mienne<\/em>: Another Way to Look at the Ratatouille<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For me, this flavorful Southern France dish is another way to look at the ratatouille<\/a><\/em>. Like its cousin, the ratatouille, this dish is made out of summer eggplants and ripe tomatoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"anchovy<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

They are saut\u00e9ed in olive oil with minced garlic and then flavored with an anchovy pur\u00e9e. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"eggplant<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

To give this dish its creamy consistency, some milk and flour are added to the eggplant, tomato, and anchovy mixture. In my case, to make it gluten-free, I’m using gluten-free all-purpose flour<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Boh\u00e9mienne<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Then, all goes to an oven dish to be sprinkled with bread crumbs. In my case, I’m using gluten-free panko<\/a> to finish this flavorful Mediterranean recipe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even if the ratatouille is the one that has become known worldwide, in Southern France, the boh\u00e9mienne is the one that is more commonly preferred. Let me tell you why… in my opinion, the addition of the salty anchovies, brings both complexity and another level of flavor to the recipe… <\/p>\n\n\n\n
