Delicious and very easy! I didn't understand why we let the eggplant and zucchini sit and drain but it worked out great! This is the best ratatouille I've ever made - even my dh didn't complain about the eggplant when we had this -- it must have something to do with the draining process. I used fresh basil and oregano from the garden when I made this. Thanks for sharing this keeper which we will be having again soon!!!
