What Protein Should I Serve with Ratatouille?

[robinb]

I am having a Ratatouille party tomorrow night. I'm inviting a couple of our friends over, plus one of my DD's friends for dinner and the movie. I made Remy's Ratatouille right after the movie came out, so I'll be doing that again. For the life of me, I can't come up with a great protein to eat with it! Any ideas?

Maybe its too late, but I normally see ratatouille as a side dish to fish on bistro menus. Usually a white fish, like halibut or sole.

Yup. Too late! Thanks anyway .

I just put together the ratatouille using a combo of the following recipes:

My veggies were sliced very thin. I might cut them thicker next time.

Anyway ... I bought strip steaks for $7.99 per pound. I will do an them as an au poivre as it's quick and easy ... and French. I bought a nice loaf of bread to go with it .

That will be lovely The other thing you could do is serve burgers WITHOUT a bun - they do that in France a lot and call it steak hache (ha-shay) - DS(8) actually prefers it like that, and that way eats all the burger rather than 1/2
