RATATOUILLE

printable PDF version
We love to make this vegetable-laden side dish in the summer when the squash and eggplant are at their very best. A stroll through the garden with the “picking basket” makes your mouth water as you pick – just thinking about the good flavors that will be created with these simple vegetables fresh from the garden to the table.
Ingredients
Serves 4-6. ⅓ cup olive oil 1 medium yellow onion, halved from stem to root, then cut into thin slices 3 small yellow squash, halved lengthwise and sliced 3 small zucchini squash, halved lengthwise and sliced 3 small Japanese eggplant, halved lengthwise and sliced 3 Roma tomatoes, peeled, seeded and chopped into small dice 1 package Fredericksburg Farms Victory Garden Vegetable Dip 1 cup chicken broth ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a heavy-bottomed 12-inch skillet over medium heat. When oil is hot, add the onion and sauté, stirring often, until onion is beginning to brown, about 8-10 minutes. Stir in the yellow squash, zucchini, eggplant, and tomatoes. Cook, stirring often, for 4 minutes. Stir in the Victory Garden Vegetable Dip mix and chicken stock, stirring to blend the dip well. Cook, stirring frequently, until the stock has almost evaporated, about 12 minutes. A rich and thick gravy should develop. Remove from heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese. Serve hot.
