Add the onion and the peppers and lightly fry everything for about 8 minutes, without stopping stirring with the skimming ladle. Add the courgette and, when this is also cooked, add the tomatoes. Mix well and allow the ratatouille to cook over a low heat for about another 20 minutes. Ten minutes before the end, put in a little sugar to counteract the acidity of the tomatoes and salt, to taste.

 Paragraph:

        The book DonQuijote is about a Spanish hero named Don Quijoe. He is a old man, maybe a little crazy, but he is a mission to bring back glory tothe knights. He goes on many adventures in attempt to accomplish this arduous task. This may sound like a story that is meant to be very serious, even true,but the author Cervantes wrote this book to be a parody. This story all takes place in the 16th centry in the territory of Castile la Mancha. Castile La Mancha is in the center of Spain. La Mancha is a extended flat surface with some mountain rages that exspaded across this region. Within La Mancha there are five territories: Toledo, Cuenca, Ciudad Real, Albacete, and Guadalajara.
