It's a lot of back and forth to cook this, but it is very worth the while. It was a hit at my last Christmas party, and I plan on doing it again this year. It also makes great leftover soup if all hasn't been eaten in the first few minutes.

excellent fresh vegs. Since there is a fresh spinach scare, I used frozen and it was delicious. a little fussy.




awesome

This recipe was a bit of work and time consuming, but worth it! I added some sliced bratwurst flavored with a little cayenne pepper and it was great! Definately a keeper.

This was labor intensive but delicious. I used some grated Asiago to top it. The following day I served the leftovers (what little there was) over some penne.




Summer on a Plate

This ratatouille bears no resemblance to the gooey, eggplant-based vegetable stew I once knew. By sauteeing each vegetable separately, Mr. Chiarello has found a way to sustain the integrity of each element of the dish. This recipe is easy and fun to prepare and the results are simply wonderful. Make this as an entree at the peak of summertime, when fresh tomatoes, squash and peppers are abundant--you won't be disappointed. Thank you, Michael Chiarello.

I will never do Ratatouille any other way. It turned out so well. Frying the veggies seperately made a big difference. They did not get mushy and browned so well. The only thing I did not add to mine was the spinach as I didnt have any. Adding the sauce at the end was perfect too. A great recipe for family and guests.




Super Wonderful
