Very good! Made as is and served on homemade bread with a side of white rice. Give this a try! -
Very good. Spread over bread and add grated goat cheese. Yummy! -
YUM! Love it. Have tried it now several times, and my favorite part is my 8 yr old and 10 yr old dancing around the kitchen, turning over "Rrrrat a touille" on their tongues, excited to eat what smells SO good. We vary amounts depending on what we have, and have even used fresh tomatoes when we had an abundance. YUM YUM YUM -
I printed out several recipes for ratatouille and ended up using this one. I omitted the eggplant (I don't really like it, and there wasn't enough room in the pot). I also substituted fresh tomatoes for the canned. I served it with some whole wheat rotini and was extremely pleased. Very tasty, I'll be using this recipe again!

I live in south eastern Louisiana where we have the best food in the world! I've always loved to cook ever since I was a little girl and my grandmothers, Nannie and Maw Maw T, were very influential to me. I enjoy making dishes from scratch and using old fashioned recipes - it's always worth the effort. My husband & I love to barbecue several times a week since we love to be outdoors. I love to entertain friends and family on weekends.
