Hi jafo,
I will give your ratatouille a try for sure! I do not want to get started on eggplant it is one of my all time favorites

I like mine diced simmered in butter w/ salt and pepper, skin in tact! Plain simple and oh so delicious, when I am in the mood for it! I agree that mushrooms would be much more complimentary w/ zuccini.
Thanks for sharing, Cathy
