"My perfectly imperfect version of ratatouille topped with a creamy, smoky bell pepper-tomato sauce whipped up in seconds by my hardworking "sous chef" the @vitamix ?. This beautiful dish from @staub_usa is one of my favourites as I can use it in the oven as well as a serving dish. Hope your weekend is as culinary fulfilling as mine ."
