    I have usually made it with zucchini, eggplant, tomatos, onions, S&P,
    some garlic and then parsley, oregano and whatever else I feel like
    throwing in.  Sometimes is comes out best when I improvise!

    I had an appetizer once that was call marinaded zucchini and eggplant
    it was served cool.  I'm wondering if this is it, the consistancy is
    fairly thick. Can you serve ratatouille cold?

110.9Not gazpachoNWD002::KASTENDICKWed Jul 24 1996 23:517
    I beg to differ.   Cold Ratatouille is *not* gazpacho - they don't
    use the same ingredients at all.   
    
    Cold Ratatouille is delicious.
