Shopping at a farmer’s market has developed into something of a pastime, a form of meditation and relaxation..maybe it reminds of home and table and prolific memories of shopping ..or should I say dawdling.. around the stalls of the market..looking, touching,deciding…what will it be?? the sun baked tomatoes that look like balloons filled with water….or zucchini, brightly colored peppers?? a walk down the aisles and I become as calm as a Mediterranean sky….
Ratatuia (Ratatouille)
1 lb (500 gr) chopped onions
