Comments
Not the best ratatouille but it may be the fastest. It's more like a vegetable stew and delicious in its own right.
I used more vinegar and it was delicious. Ignore the last instruction, it seems like a mistake.
The vinegar made for an interesting dish. The dill is an unusual herb in this, a change from basil.
This is the weirdest ratatouille recipe I have ever come across. Just throw everything in the pot, no salt, no oil. Really? Actually it’s. It bad as a vegetable base for other dishes, it certainly not a stand-alone.
