Delicious Ratatouille Recipe
I’ve got a super delicious Ratatouille recipe that you have got to try. My husband is the first to tell you that he was very surprised by how much he really enjoyed this recipe. That says a lot coming from a guy that typically only likes meat and potatoes. I was equally surprised that the kids went back for seconds. You know how hard it is to get them to eat their vegetables some days? Not today and not with this recipe.
This dish would also be a good one to bring to a pot luck or to the office. It’s visually appealing and it serves a large group easily if you double this recipe like I did. The key is to find all of the vegetables about the same size. I ended up using a large eggplant. It’s because they didn’t have any small ones left at my local grocery store. No worries though, it still tastes the same. I’ve seen lots of different ways to make a simple Ratatouille dish and here’s my twist. Please note you can mix up this recipe and use different vegetables and cheeses if needed. Use what you like. I’ve made this same recipe with all different kinds of cheeses. We love to add Parmesan cheese to almost anything. Brie is another favorite. Isn’t it funny how kids will eat almost any vegetable when cheese is on it? Whatever works, right?
In the photos I have doubled the recipe and I used a large 9 x 13 rectangle baking dish. In the recipe below you can use a smaller oval dish or even a square baking dish.
