Way back in 2006 I spotted what I considered to be a gorgeous recipe for Ratatouille on the blog of talented cook and photographer Bea of La Tartine Gourmande. It inspired me to try my hand at making Ratatouille, even though, like Bea, I never liked it when my mother made it either. Then along came a hugely-popular movie that made this dish even more famous!
When I first made Ratatouille I relief on my garden for ingredients, and I couldn't think about buying eggplant, since I had such a surplus of squash that needed to be used. I didn't have shallots so I used red onion. When it came time for fresh herbs, Bea had used fresh tarragon, something I don't have in my garden at that time, so I decided to substitute parsley and basil. And after I made so many changes, I decided to call my recipe Ratatouille Wanna-Be.
More than 10 years later I decided I must update the photos from that early post, and this time I ventured from traditional Ratatouille a bit more, adding some chunks of spicy Italian sausage to make this a complete meal. And we served this Low-Carb Ratatouille Wanna-Be Stew with Italian Sausage with freshly-grated Parmesan on the side, which is definitely more Italian than French! But even with all the quirky changes I made, this was just delicious. And if you have garden zucchini, yellow summer squash, tomatoes, peppers, and herbs, this Ratatouille Wanna-Be Stew is a wonderful way to use them!
