Ratatouille

Ratatouille

Ratatouille is a great dish to make in the summer when you have an abundance of local produce available. This classic vegetable stew originated in the south of France and there are many variations to it.

Ratatouille is a chunky vegetable stew made with eggplant, summer squash, red bell pepper, tomatoes, onions, garlic, fresh herbs and seasonings. It is such a versatile dish that it is well worth the time and effort that it takes to make a batch.

You can serve the Ratatouille hot or cold. It makes a great side dish when you are grilling meat, chicken or fish. I served it with poached eggs and it was delicious! You could also add it to some pasta or fold it into your omelette. I am sure you will find your own way to enjoy this simple to make, healthy and low calorie dish!
