Ratatouille
The full name for this French side dish is Ratatouille Niçoise. There is a lot of debate on the execution of this dish, but for our recipe we kept it simple by baking the colorful array of vegetables, seasoned simply with herbs de Provence. To finish the dish, we then plate it over our fresh tomato sauce.

“These are the BEST vegetables you’ve EVER fixed!” So said Sweetie after her first bite of the ratatouille. After having my first bite, I had to agree. This stuff is awesome! I fixed it according to the recipe and it turned out great. This is the first time I’ve fixed eggplant in a way that Sweetie loved, also. 🙂 A keeper of a recipe! And the tomato sauce is to die for! Gonna have to try it on some faux-noodles for spaghetti.
