Ratatouille

I go back to this recipe time and time again. Not only because it’s packed with all my favorite veggies, not only because it’s an absolute delicious French classic, but also because it’s a joy to make, and a beauty to serve to all my friends! I often serve this dish with brown rice or as a side with lentil loaf and fresh gluten-free bread. If you want a little extra protein, try adding a cup of chickpeas.

“If you are what you eat, then I only want to eat the good stuff.” – Remy, Ratatouille.
