Glaze:
2 1⁄2 tbsp. canola oil
2 yellow onions
3⁄4 cup maple syrup
3⁄4 cup cider vinegar
2 1⁄2 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 1⁄4 cup ketchup
1 1⁄2 tsp. red chile flakes
2 1⁄2 cups chicken stock
2 tbsp. Dijon mustard

Ratatouille:
1 lb. eggplant, 1⁄2-in. slices
1⁄2 cup olive oil
1 lb. tomatoes, peeled and cold smoked, 1⁄2-in. dice
1 lb. zucchini
1 lb. yellow zucchini
1 lb. red pepper
1 lb. yellow pepper
1 lb. yellow onion, peeled and cold-smoked, 1⁄2-in. dice
1⁄8 cup garlic, minced
1⁄8 cup parsley, minced

Steps

1. For glaze, heat oil in a large pot and sauté onions 2-3 min. Add maple syrup and reduce to a glaze. Add cider vinegar, simmer for 2 min., and add remaining ingredients except mustard. Simmer 40-50 min. until thickened. Add mustard and strain.
