Print Save Recipe

Number of Servings: 6

Serving Size: 2/3 cups

Essentially a vegetable stew, ratatouille is probably one of the most versatile dishes around: serve it hot, cold or at room temperature, and use it as a side dish, main dish, or appetizer with bread or crackers.

Eggplant, onion, tomatoes, and peppers are traditional ingredients in ratatouille, but don't be afraid to improvise and add summer squash, scallions, red bell peppers, or other vegetables as desired.

Just be sure to include the appropriate exchanges or carbohydrate counts for any substitutions.
