| This classic French dish from the Provence region is a chunky vegetable stew brimming with eggplant, zucchini, bell peppers, and tomatoes. Slowly simmered in extra virgin olive oil with garlic and herbs, it develops rich, concentrated flavors.
Health Highlights:
• Eggplant is low in starch, high in fiber and antioxidants like anthocyanins
• Zucchini provides vitamin C, manganese, and hydrating water content
• Tomatoes offer lycopene, an antioxidant linked to reduced cancer risk
Chef’s Tip:
Make a big batch to enjoy throughout the week – ratatouille is delicious at any temperature as a main, side, pasta topping, or bruschetta spread. |
