RATATOUILLE-ISH
RATATOUILLE-ISH
Reminiscent of the French Mediterranean vegetable dish, this vibrant ratatouille-ish summer inspired dish lacks the traditional chunky style and eggplant but is equally hearty and flavorful as the original. This shingled red onion, zucchini and tomato version is a quick make and bake meal with limitless variations. Serve on top of a bed of greens, flatbread or pasta for a more substantial meal
