Guest guest Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 Does anyone know of a ratatouille recipe that doesn't have eggplant? My dh hates the taste (although I love it!). Or, maybe a veggie that I can substitute? I hate having to give up something that I enjoy eating. Thanks!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 You can do a couple of things about that problem, but probably the easiest is to substitute zucchini, or put eggplant in half of it and mark which half. If you want to leave it out altogether, just omit it. You don't need a different recipe, just skip that ingredient.

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 Oh thank you--I was just thinking there are a lot of great eggplant recipes and I do not care for the texture. Zucchini sounds fine and it grows like weeds around here in late summer.

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 I use an eggplant variety called rosa biancha (or blanca). It has very white flesh, and if i peel it no one would ever know it is in ratatouille. My partner allegedly does not like ratatouille, later I found out he likes baba ganough (a middle eastern dish made with all eggplant practically) since he did not know it was in there....I think peeling is important for people that claim not to like eggplant though. , " itshotinjt04 " <itshotinjt04 wrote: > > Does anyone know of a ratatouille recipe that doesn't have eggplant? > My dh hates the taste (although I love it!).

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 It's one of those give or take recipes. I have made it with zucchini instead of eggplant or added a few extra veggies. I hope your DH likes it next time. I love to scoop it on crusty bread. Donna The seed is in bloom, will it meet an early doom or survive in a tranquil sea?
