A friend of mine recently recommended this ROASTED VEGGIE RATATOUILLE recipe and since we have most of the ingredients in our garden, I can't wait to try it out!
Makes 10 cups
Capers give this vegetarian side dish just the right tangy touch. Spoon the ratatouille over steamed brown rice, if desired (or on a crusty bread roll).
