Ratatouille with goat's cheese gratin
This recipe for ratatouille with goat's cheese gratin is a wonderful interpretation of the French classic. The vegetables are slowly braised until the aromas of peppers, eggplants and zucchinis combine with the fruity tomato sauce. The special feature is the crust of tangy goat's cheese, which is gratinated in the oven until golden brown and gives the dish a savory depth. It is the ideal choice for a vegetarian main course, which impresses with fresh herbs and high-quality olive oil and harmonizes perfectly with a strong rosé wine.
