What goes well with ratatouille?

I would serve it with rice or pasta just to soak up the juices – they are delicious.

If you are worried about the amount of protein being served you could add in a side dish of some sort containing beans, egg or cheese. What I often do is serve ratatouille with rice and a salad and then offer an egg-based custard for dessert.

Ratatouille is great on a bed of polenta!

In France, they usually serve it with fish, like tuna. You might try quinoa or some denser starch. I would pair it with quiche or souffle too.

Or a really good Italian or French baguette, the kind with the thick crispy crust. Yum!

Herbed, spiced sourdough bread

You could serve it in crepes.

Try making this pastry and then wrapping your rataouille in it, make sure it’s sealed well other wise it leaks!
Alternativley make into dumplings, put in rataouille and bake in oven until dumplings are cooked… mmm

I put ratatouille in individual ramekins or casseroles, top it with grated cheddar or other cheese and bake it until the cheese melts. Delicious for lunch or dinner with a salad and/or bread.

Thanks – I made rice to go with the ratatouille and also made a side dish of fried polenta with goat cheese, kale, and heirloom tomatoes. Served it with a yummy thick-crusted bread, too. Yum!

You’re killing me!

I always serve it with bulgar, to which I add chopped green onions and lemon zest, and maybe some parsley. I serve it as a vegetarian main course, but I add a can of cannelini or kidney beans for protein (together with the whole grain starch, it makes a good source of protein) – and we top it off with shredded cheese. It would also be great with garlic bread.
