Even though most of us thought this was good, but not outstanding, I am going to give this four stars. The one member of our family who LOVES eggplant rolled up her eyes in bliss as she ate this, so her reaction is the one I am gauging this by. The rest of us thought this was "Good enough to use up extra eggplant from the garden" good, but not "Run out and buy eggplant from the store" good. DS2 wouldn't touch it, but DD6 ate most of hers. It was very good with fresh french rolls.

This is absolutely the best recipe for ratatouille. I've made it twice both times in the claypot, 450 for about an hour after lightly browning the vegetables on the stove, and both times it was outstanding. A touch of fresh oregano adds to the taste. Remember, it shrinks in the claypot, so it really only serves two. Thanks

We really enjoyed this! I didn't have fresh basil so had to make due with dried, and also added a dash of oregano, but next time will try with fresh! Also used 2 regular tomatoes instead of 4 plum. We served over angel hair pasta with a crusty loaf of bread! Yum! My husband has requested it be made again soon! Thank you so much!!
