The basic components that define my ratatouille are:
plum tomatoes
zucchini
eggplant
garlic
onions
scallions
herbs
These ingredients are traditionally sauteed in olive oil and can be served over rice or potatoes, preferably with a crusty French bread (and a glass of wine for the chef.)
Recipe for my simple ratatouille
Ingredients:
1 medium sized onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
3 diced scallions
2 medium eggplant, diced
3 plum tomatoes diced
2 medium zucchini diced into large chunks
add herbs as desired (I used basil)
olive oil (enough to sauté veggies)
salt and pepper to taste
I add a splash of balsamic vinegar
Directions:
Sauté the onion and garlic and scallions until tender
Add eggplant and zuchinni
then and tomatoes, bring to a very light simmer
Simmer, covered for 15 minutes
Simmer for 10-15 more minutes with the cover off until the vegetables are suitably soft
Remove from heat
Stir in the herbs, splash of balsamic and season to taste.

This is sounding really good...My Hubs is Italian and he loves almost anything with Garlic,...the thing is, his stomach is having a harder time tolerating it lately.
I read you were Italian also. does your family ever pickle the eggplant with oil and vinegar? It tastes great but ooooh my stomach...
Thank goodness! I though you were going to review the movie. I love your recipe for ratatouille. It is such a versatile dish and the color it adds to a meal is fantastic.
One word... YUM!
My family always made this in the summer months when the veggies were all in season. We would dip large pieces of Italian bread into this. So delicious.
