1. Insert the Dicing Grid and Disc. Dice zucchini,
eggplant and onion. Use Cleaning Tool to clean Grid.

and thyme sprig; stir. Cover and reduce heat to

Remove lid and cook until liquid is reduced and
slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from
heat, remove thyme sprig and stir in fresh basil. Taste
and adjust seasoning as desired. Ratatuoille can be
served hot, at room temperature or cold.
