I have never had ratatouille before but we are trying to eat vegetarian at least twice a week. This was what the kids wanted to try so I added it to our list and it's a keeper. I left out the peppers since I don't like them and we baked ours in 3 packets in the oven but everything else was as written. It was lovely as a main dish with a little sprinkling of cheese and some flatbread to scoop it up. Thanks!

Although I haven't used it over an open fire yet, which is generally where I use foil packets, I have used the basic recipe, plus balsamic vinegar, after sweating the eggplant and zucchini with salt. It was the hit of the evening. even the people who at first wouldn't try it because they hate eggplant, were coming back for seconds once someone convinced them to try a bite.
