Beautiful & delicious spin on a French Provincial favorite!
There are a lot of non-traditional things about this version of ratatouille–the lack of herbes de province, that it’s baked and it’s prepared with both couscous and a dollop of soft goat cheese–but if the chunkier authentic stuff has never done it for you, it’s time to try this re-creation from New York-based Smitten Kitchen.
"The Straub’s gift basket is amazing! I didn’t realize there was a bottle of Hess Select Chardonnay included. That is my favorite Chardonnay! I gave Andy the night off from cooking and I made the spaghetti with the Rigazzi’s sauce, and it was a winner. I will not share with you how many Bissinger chocolates I have eaten, but I will tell you that the Christmas tree scented candle is exactly what my house needs. It smells wonderful."

Some consider figs the Holy Grail of fruit. Fresh brown turkey figs are available just in time for the holidays at all four Straub's locations.
Some consider figs the ‘Holy Grail’ of fruit – classical references are many. Figs are said to be discovered by Dionysius and the thunderbolts of Jupiter. They are referenced as the tree of knowledge in the bible along with the loss of innocence and the pleasures of Paradise. Thomas Jefferson brought fig trees to Monticello upon his return from France. None-the-less figs are an exotic treasure and a culinary trophy. They are also an excellent source of potassium and dietary fiber. Fresh brown turkey figs are available just in time for the holidays at all four Straub’s locations. Hurry in and try some for yourself!
Figs are usually eaten whole—skin and all. Wash the fresh figs in cool water. Since figs possess a delicate skin and flesh, be careful not to bruise them. Cut off the small stem with a sharp knife. There is no need to cut the fig into smaller pieces or to remove the seeds. Simply pop the fig into your mouth and enjoy!
