A New Layered Veggie Dish
By Linda Dansbury

Fellow member Sarah Brown sent a recipe to me this week called Baked Ratatouille. It sounds delicious - it starts with bacon!

She writes: "I made this dish last night - but also made it so many times last year with ingredients from the CSA. It does require the oven to be on, but it's a great way to use eggplant - especially when you have a spouse who isn't that fond of eggplant! I don't bother peeling the eggplant and use fresh tomatoes when I have them rather than canned. And the cheese can be any good melty cheese. Last night I put mozzarella on one side and gruyere on the other. I preferred the gruyere. :)

Good (and filling) to eat on its own, but could be served over pasta or with bread."

I can't wait to try this. It uses one pan to cook up the ingredients and one baking dish, so clean up is simple. While dish is baking, you can spend your time making a side salad to go along with it.

Thank you so much Sarah - to all you great cooks out there, please send your ideas to me at lindadansbury@comcast.net and please put Anchor Run in the subject line.

Happy eating!
