Meal 95

Tonight we tried a marvelous french recipe...ratatouille.  All our ingredients were totally fresh except for the mushrooms (which were canned)...and Wayne & I had a great time in the kitchen together chopping away. 

Here's what we started with on the cutting board.

Here's the link to the recipe we used:

You start by sauteeing eggplant with garlic & parsley.  Then add that to the bottom of casserole dish.  Top that first layer with parmesan cheese.  Then add a layer of sliced zucchini - followed by another layer of parm. Wayne was totally in charge of slicing the zuke layer.  Here's what he did:

Next came a layer of chopped up tomatoes, green peppers, & mushrooms.

Then one final layer of parm. 

And, here's what it looked like fresh out of the oven.

Since we were baking, we also threw some bratwursts in an iron skillet & stuck those in the oven too.  Then we boiled some fresh corn.

There's nothing better than meals made with summer bounty!
