Ratatouille
Why I Love This Recipe
It’s the best - alone as a side dish, over spaghetti squash, and always with parm. or reggiano cheese sprinkled on top! Here is my easiest and quickest recipe. You used to have to salt your eggplant for an hour then rinse, however the brands we buy today aren’t as bitter so we can generally skip this time consuming step - I do. By canadajo
