Picked this recipe as a great way to clear the vegetable bin at the end of the week. Odd reason but I am so pleased I did. This turned out to be one of those dishes that makes you wish one could share the smell of the dish, not just a picture. The wonderful smell of the simmering sauce permeated throughout the kitchen and left me eagerly anticipating the final result. It did not dissapoint. The careful inclusion of the vegeables left each one perfectly prepared and not overdone. I added my potatoes about 9 minutes before finishing so they could absorb the sauce. Caroline is right the sauce is the star. The suggested bread should be an ingredient as you won't want to miss a drop. Well worth a trip to the gym to later to enjoy and extra piece. The two small changes was that I cut the oil to 2 teaspoons and omitted the salt. Thanks Bunny Mom!!

This is an outstanding recipe. The apartment smells like grandma's house when the veggies are simmering in the wine sauce-- warm and inviting. The wine sauce make this deliciously rich. The second time I made it I doubled the amount of wine and sauce, since I always have leftovers and the sauce tends to get absorbed by the veggies overnight. Also, I serve the ragout over cornbread and top with an asiago/parmesan blend and this dish becomes out of this world. The mild sweetness of the cornbread with the richness of the wine sauce--OMG!

So very YUMMY! My hubby and I loved this, the kids - not so much. I omitted the mushrooms (blah), I didn't have molasses so I used honey. I served it over cauliflower milllet mash (instead of potatoes, try it!) with a salad and garlic bread. Just had some leftovers. SOOOOOO Good! Thanks for the keeper of a recipe

This is adult comfort food, with a vengence! Wonderful flavours and red wine too. I had to substitute aubergine for zucchini because unfortunately the slugs got to my plants before I did (I did manage to find one tiny courgette though)! However, the sauce is the real star of this recipe, so a combination of any Mediterranean vegetables would be great. We had it with French bread as suggested.
