Ratatouille


Most of us bloggers have links to our favourite blogs or links to those blogs we think are of interest. One such blog I think you should all take a look at is Burku's "Almost Turkish". Her dishes are always exquisitely presented, they sound tasty and as a Greek, I'm always interested to see what our neighbors and rivals are up to.

If you're looking for a Greek/Turkish duke-out, look elsewhere...there's none of that in the kitchen!


Burku recently presented her Ratatouille and I just had to try it myself. I assembled it like hers but I made a smaller version, used less tomato for the sauce and substituted her dill for my thyme and added some sliced onions.

The result was a dish of brilliant colours, a peppery vegetable side dish that's fitting for warm or cool months.

What's remarkable is that this pretty dish was very easy to assemble. Have a go & try your own Ratatouille!

Peter, I liked that you added onions; I should have done that, too. Looks great!

Glad to hear that there is no rivalry, and I agree, Burcu's blog is first rate!

Great idea and savoury taste. The thyme is a good (and traditional) herb. Well done!

Loved the movie and loved this dish! Great hit with all. The sauce made it! I used butternut squash instead of yellow squash as that was all I had, but worked really well. This is going to become a part of my staple set of dishes, but of course experimenting with a range of vegetables :) Thanks!
