Hello Summer!! This summer was the first summer I grew eggplant that were actually acceptable for eating- so viola, the perfect excuse to make a beautiful & healthy ratatouille dish! And as always- serve with sourdough!! 🥖 Sauté the protein with the oil, onions, peppers and spices- add the tomatoes- simmer and top with the sliced veggies and bake- optional: sprinkle with some fresh Parmesan! This can be personalized to your taste too!
