Not quite a ratatouille but easy and quick. My tomatoes were very juicy so I needed to cook them down more than suggested. Served over couscous with grilled swordfish; a nice end-of-summer dinner.

I tried following Franey's instructions with scallions, and they just don't work. Mince them in food processor with garlic instead.
