AuthorNote: many years ago as a student at the University of California, Berkeley, I was invited to a dinner given by professor Laura Nader, a Lebanese-American professor of Middle Eastern studies and sister of maverick politician Ralph Nader. Her dinner was simple and elegant, the main course was a sort of Lebanese ratatouille. It was a delicious first for me, and contained may of the same elements as its French counterpart - eggplant, zucchini, tomatoes, and green pepper - but its seasonings, rather than being basil and garlic of the French version, were more typical of the Middle East. You might serve the dish with rice and a simple salad of romaine lettuce, just as Professor Nader did so long ago. I would offer some crusty bread on the side.
