Ratatouille
My mother used to cook ratatouille and add sunny-side-up eggs for easy family lunches. I use this recipe as a basic guide and customize it according to what's available or what I want to eat. If tomatoes are not in season, I use a can of tomatoes and add some balsamic vinegar and sugar.
