Hummm!!!! I love this French vegetable dish over Perfect White Rice.

RATATOUILLE
Serves 4

1 bell pepper (green), sliced as for fajitas
1 onion, sliced as for fajitas
1 garlic clove minced
1 tb olive oil or to taste (I usually use more in these Provencal dish)
1/2 small eggplant, sliced in 1/2 inch pieces
1 zucchini, sliced
1 tomato cut in wedges
1 tb chopped fresh basil
pinch of salt
pinch of pepper
3 tb chopped fresh parsley
Shredded Parmesan
Fresh basil for garnish (optional)

In a pot cook green pepper, onion and garlic in oil, stirring frequently. Add zucchini, tomato, basil, salt and pepper. Cover and cook for approximately 5 to 7 minutes or until vegetables are al dente (that is my personal preference, but others prefer the vegetables well cooked). Stir in parsley. To serve top the rice with the Ratatouille. Sprinkle with Parmesan and fresh basil.
