There is something about the combination of vegetables in Ratatouille that delivers a delicious, natural ‘caramelised’ flavour.
Something else we love about ratatouille is that it is a very versatile dish. It can be served as a salad with avocado or as a side dish with a number of our main meals. One in particular is our sesame crusted tuna which we often serve on a bed of ratatouille.
Another simple serving suggestion is simply on a slice of gluten free toast with grilled halloumi and sprouts.
