Russ and I love all things related to ratatouille so this was destined to be a winner. I have thyme and parsley going nuts in my garden right now, so cooked some thyme in it, then finished the dish with a large handful of chopped parsley-otherwise no changes to the recipe. Piggies that we are, we ate half warm tonight as a side and will eat the other half tomorrow cold (almost my most favourite way to eat ratatouille-like dishes).
