ReplyDeleteToo hard for me, I'm afraid. Besides, my mind is troubled with all those juicy marrows I've got to use up before they go off. Oh, if only someone could post an authentic, freezer friendly, recipe for Sicilian ratatouille, if such a thing exists.
ReplyDeleteHint, hint.

Sorry - I dunno how to put a link in the comments. Might be simpler to just enter "caponbata" in the search thing at the top, if you see what I mean.
