Almost five years ago, my husband and I visited Jordan. To this day, it is one of the most memorable and enjoyable trips we have had. People were friendly and during our journey through the country, we enjoyed the beauty of all the different landscapes. We had jam packed days, especially those few days we have spent in Petra. In the mornings and the evenings we had time to enjoy local cuisine. Quality of the ingredients was superb, meat especially was very flavorful and tender.
By far, this is the dish I ask for most often, when my husband is cooking. Because of the grilled paprika in the sauce it tastes very rich. Tomato sauce and mozzarella go beautifully together. But, when you add zesty meatballs, fresh bread and just a few leaves of fresh basil, it is match made in food heaven, literally!
We were in Malta the first time I tried Ratatouille. I fell in love with the dish instantly! All the colors, textures, fragrant from all the herbs but still gentle tasting. Oh… Irresistible! Most often I serve it with salmon and potatoes. It goes very well with rice and some sour cream. Even with just a piece of baguette.. it is a joy!
