Ratatouille

Ratatouille

Ratatouille is a simple French vegetarian dish that helps complete so many other dishes. Whether it be as a topping on a baked potato to a side dish for a meat dish it works each time. I have used the traditional aubergine, courgette, tomatoes, onions and red pepper but the options are vast. Ratatouille serves on fish is a delight that I would recommend. as well.
