Variations & Tips
– For any little ones — or not so little ones — who scrunch up their noses at chunks of veggies, consider giving your ratatouille a gentle mash before serving. It makes the texture more kid-friendly and oh-so inviting.
– Feel free to toss in other vegetables you have on hand. Ratatouille is forgiving and versatile. A handful of spinach or some sliced mushrooms would make lovely additions.

– If you have fresh herbs from the garden, by all means, use those instead! Just remember that fresh herbs are generally more potent so add them to your taste.
– Leftovers are magnificent when used as a topping for a baked potato or even scrambled with eggs for a farm-fresh breakfast. Get creative and let the ratatouille bring its rustic charm to various meals throughout the week. Enjoy!
