Practical question. I live in the NE of the USA and have never run across fresh bay leaves. Are you using the California bay laurel? I'm thinking fresh tarragon or rosemary as an East coast subsitute. Just wondering?? I'm saving this video for next summer - I look forward to using it, maybe with some California-produced Lundberg mahogany rice. Quinoa sound good, too.
OOOOOOOOh yeah.... Im make'N Summa DIS !

Dry bay leaves work just as well, and substituting it with rosemary sounds like an interesting twist! :)
We used Mediterranean bay leaf which is Bay Laurel. California bay tree leaf is similar but has a stronger flavor.

Oh, thank you! I wasn't sure dried bay leaves would work in something that cooks up so quickly.

You can use any herbs that you want. dry herbs, use a little less. I like using fresh or dry thyme for this recipe.
It's a very fast and fool proof way to make a easy ratatouille.

Gonna try this this week. What do you serve with it, rice / risotto?

Mmmm - simple, easy and all locally available in season, of course. Well, except for the olives. ;) But do we really need to salt our arms? :D
