GREEK HERB RATATOUILLE
When I lived in Florida, I went to a dinner at a friend's home. His wife, who is Greek, served a beautiful side dish that she called an eggplant fan, and she shared the recipe with me. While I've made her version many times with success, I was inspired by the movie Ratatouille and created this version. -Joe Sherwood, Tryon, Nebraska
