Ratatouille


Natasha's ratatouille recipe really hit the spot.  Despite my hunger pains, I let the veggies simmer and stew for two hours, as she recommended.  And, something at the hour-and-a-half mark just turned the whole diced mess into magic.  Admittedly, I didn't have pepper or parsley, nor a bay leaf at hand, and so I was a little worried.  I used basil instead and a few bits of rosemary and then cheated by throwing in a tiny, tiny dash of balsamic.  I topped a bowl-full off with freshly torn pieces of basil, before savoring it with a crunchy baguette. This is a definite re-do for me.

  4. Hi Natasha. Oh it was yummy and even yummier as leftovers. A friend just gave me her bay leaves, so I am going to make it again, with the proper ingredients.
