Wood-Fired Ratatouille

The dog days have arrived and the heat has really set in. Fortunately, gardens are bursting with squash, tomatoes, and fresh herbs, which means it’s the perfect time for ratatouille. This French classic takes on a beautiful char in the wood-fired oven and makes a refreshing, savory entree or side dish. It’s a great way to use your summer veggie bounty.
