A TASTY -SOOO TASTY ADDITION IS TO OMIT BUTTER AND STEAM FRY EGGPLANT SLICES, ZUCHINNI SLICES, ONION SLICES, RED PEPPER SLICES AND MUSHROOM SLICES IN A NONSTICK PAN WITH MINIMAL WATER. COOK TILL TENDER CRISP AND ADD 1/2 CUP SALSA,2-3 TABLESPOONS BALSAMIC VINEGAR AND 2 TABLESPOONS DIJON OR SPICY BROWN MUSTARD AND A TESPOON OF BROWN SUGAR.  THIS IS TRULY A GREAT COMBINATION OF TASTE. I HAVE EVEN ADDED CRUSHED RED PEPPER FLAKES FOR A FIERY DISH.

I fried up the vegetables in some light olive oil instead of margarine and added some frozen mixed veggies.  I had the leftovers the next day over rice.  Yum Yum!

I made this but added a can of Rotel tomatos (spicy) and a little tomato paste to thicken it.  It was really good served over rice.

My husband just called me at my office to say he's having Kentucky Fried Chicken for Dinner (Yuk!) I'm having this Ratatouille over Brown Rice. Sounds so delicious. I can't wait till dinner time.

Hi, made the above, added the eggplant of course.  Then added french mustard, soya source, garlic and pepper, thyme and olive oil.  I firstly fried all the vege before adding chopped tomatos.

my family made some quite similar to this the other day. the only difference was that we fried them in olive oil, no margarine, added an eggplant (my mom and brother's first time trying it and they loved it!), and topped it off with nutritional yeast flakes. yum Smiley it doesn't even need the NY flakes. I thought it was a dish that needed to be served over something, like rice, but it was fantastic all on its own Smiley

I added garlic  - made a huge difference. I served it over the store-bought Casbah Lemon-Spinach Cous Cous (towhich I added a can of garbanzo beans). My non-veg boyfriend (very critical!) loved it! Will definitely make this again!

With some whole wheat toast and a green salad, this made a really satisfying meal, and was just as good the second day.  I traded the margarine for olive oil, and added a teaspoon of Herbs de Provence per others' suggestions.  Also hot sauce, because I just couldn't leave it French, apparently.  Pretty tasty!

It didn't come out as saucy as I was expecting, I used a 15 ounce can of tomatoes.  Maybe a bigger can next time?
