After the decadence of the holidays it’s nice to take a step back from the giant platters of meat, and copious amounts of dessert to enjoy some simpler, lighter fare that’s still filling and comforting. Enter a delectable French dish that is rustic yet refined, rich yet restrained, and definitely delicious. Ratatouille has long been a comfort food in the summer months, but it will liven up your table in the winter months too. Thin slices of eggplant, zucchini, and yellow squash slowly cook in a bright tomato sauce with plenty of olive oil. This ratatouille recipe is delicious by itself, or paired with a veggie and starch of your choice for a more complete meal.

Wine Pairing

Ratatouille can be easily overwhelmed by robust wines so when pairing stick to lighter reds. These wines will allow the subtle vegetable notes to come through. We recommend pairing this dish with a Pinot Noir or a good Tempranillo.
