This was awesome! I didn't have any fresh herbs, so I used some herbed de Provence. I loved every bite. I'm making it for dinner again tonight.

We love ratatouille as a tasty accompaniment for lamb , beef or pork. Cooking the chopped vegetable separately makes a lot of difference, as the eggplant needs a couple more minutes than the tomatoes, and the onion and zucchini cooking times are in between. Love that there is no peeling, though I did salt and drain the eggplant slices while I chopped everything else, then chopped it last (so it does not soak up all of the oil Also, "chopped" to me for this was big chunks. I did not add the pepper, but I did use more garlic, fresh thyme and basil. The dash of red wine vinegar at the end is the piece de resistance!! It brings vibrancy to this dish and enhances all of the flavor of all the vegetables and herbs. So delicious.

This recipe was delicious and flavorful. It was a little time consuming having to cook the veggies individually but it came out so good. My boyfriend said it was worth the wait.
