It's funny that we just did another classic dish of my Dad's and now we're doing this one! We make his ratatouille every summer about this time when the squashes and eggplants are coming fast and furious at the farmers market. This is a very easy version of this dish, butI think the green olives really knock it out of the park. Many recipes don't use olives, but I think they're essential! We love this simply served with any grain. The cheese bulks things up, but we have had it many times without. What a wonderful late summer meal!

Prep Notes
Difficulty: Easy
Chopping: Onion, zucchini, squash, eggplant, pepper
Time: 10 minutes to prep, 30-45 to simmer
