Here is how you make Ginny's Version of Ratatouille:

Wash and Dice-cut zucchini and squash into bite-sized pieces. Dice up the onion and put all three ingredients into a cooking pot. (Optional vegetable like eggplant and green peppers would be added at this step.)Cover with water and bring to a rapid boil. Let it boil for about 5 minutes and shut off the burner. Test with a fork ? you want the vegetable to be tender ? but firm.Drain when done and return to the cooking pot.Open and dump the contents of the diced tomatoes into the cooking pot ? juice and all.Turn the stove burner down to Simmer.Add the minced garlic and Italian seasonings to suit your taste. I would guess about a tablespoon for a large portion, and a teaspoon for a small portion.I usually sprinkle some grated cheese over the top, and a splash (or two) of red wine.Now, let it simmer until the dried Italian spices are suitably softened and the flavors blend. I can never wait more than 30 minutes because it smells so good.Don?t get too concerned about being precise. Be creative and make your own version.
