Living in the Northwest I'm lucky to have access to a variety of farm fresh vegetables and local produce and I try to make the most of it. My ratatouille is an ode to the region’s produce. I oven roast the vegetables before I add them to the thick tomato sauce.
When I make this for dinner with friends I serve it along with a side of polenta, flavored with full-bodied Tillamook sharp cheddar cheese, and sour cream.
ratatouille (eggplant, butternut squash, mushrooms, peppers, edamame, tomato, basil, onion, garlic, salt, pepper, colavita (olive-canola) oil), polenta (Tillamook cheddar cheese, corn meal, veg stock, half and half), sour cream
This is my new favorite. Edamame adds a nice crunch. Perfectly seasoned, lovely dish.
Ratatouille was tasty with lots of vegetables. Polenta a tiche rich for my taste, but still good.
