Helpful hints
- If using dried herbs instead of fresh, decrease to 1 teaspoon each instead of 1 tablespoon.
- Substitute an Italian herb blend for separate herbs, if desired.
- If you are on a low potassium diet count as 1-1/2 vegetable servings.
- Prepare Ratatouille as a side dish or add pasta (small shells, bow ties or elbows) or make it a complete meal by adding cooked ground turkey, chicken or beef.
- Freeze extra portions for a quick dish later.
