THE BEST RATATOUILLE
Summer delivers a bounty of fresh vegetables all at once and we scramble to use them up before they become scarce again. This southern French staple is the perfect way to get all your summer goodies into one dish. As the stew slowly simmers, the flavors mingle in the most perfect of ways, giving you a dish that is stunning on its own or equally fabulous served alongside grilled meats or fish.

Steps:
- Heat 1/4 cup olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat until shimmering, about 1 minute. Add the bell peppers, onion and 1 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring often, until the onions are translucent and the bell peppers have softened slightly, about 10 minutes. Add the eggplant, the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring often, until the eggplant is very soft, about 8 minutes. Add the zucchini and continue to cook, stirring often, until beginning to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, tomato paste and red pepper flakes, if using. Cook, stirring often, until the zucchini has softened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the tomatoes, bring to a simmer and then reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the ratatouille has reached a thick stew-like consistency, about 10 minutes. Stir in the parsley and basil with salt and pepper to taste. Spoon into a bowl and sprinkle with more fresh parsley and basil before serving.

Steps:
- Place olive oil in a large sauce pan. Heat oil on medium high heat, add garlic, onions, and shallots. Stir and reduce heat to low. Do not let them brown. Season with salt and pepper cook for about 45 minutes or until the are soft and brown and all the flavors have melded together. Roughly chop peppers (any combination of bell peppers will work). Place peppers in a blender and puree. You should have about 1 cup of pureed peppers; if you need more, add a few jarred roasted red peppers and puree them as well. Add peppers puree to onions. Stir often (about 45 more minutes) and let cook down. Add the homemade tomato sauce and more salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil and then simmer while you do the next steps. Stir often. (OK, at this point, it smells wonderful and would make a great pasta sauce!) Preheat oven to 450 degrees. (Keep stirring the tomato/pepper mixture). Toss the chopped veggies in olive oil and salt and pepper. Place in a large baking dish and roast for about 45 minutes. Stir about three times during cooking. Remove veggies from oven and set aside. Stir herbs into tomato/pepper base. Carefully stir in veggies. Enjoy!
