“I’ve been drooling over your photos of this dish for a week! My step-daughter and her fiance came yesterday to stay for a month, and they are vegans…..guess what was for dinner tonight?!? I doubled the recipe, had couscous, crusty bread and a grilled steak for the meat eaters in the household (husband and son), and a dollop of goat cheese for me!! [...]”

“Just made this for my veggie-skeptical boyfriend. He LOVED it. And so did I. Sooo good.“

“This was really yummy with parmesan chicken tonight!  My boyfriend, who hardly ever eats vegetables, loved it.  Thanks so much for the recipe and the lovely pictures!  (Mine didn’t look as good as yours, though!)“

“This recipe was awesome! My hubby and son watched Ratatouille twice this past weekend, and so naturally, they both begged mommy to cook ratatouille like Remy.  Well, this recipe was such a success!  With minor tweaks here and there (as my family are definite carnivores), I had added slices of salami and it was delicious! Also added balsamic vinegar dressing to top it off during last 5-10 min and that did the trick for us.  Thank you for sharing your recipe!“

Perhaps unsurprisingly, tofu is Carnivore Husband's mortal enemy:

I make this for myself and three small children when my husband works late, since he is also anti-tofu. Such a delicious dish. Black sesame seeds look especially lovely in this.[...]

Deb – this is a winner!! I’ve made it a bunch of times (using chicken instead of tofu for all the carnivores I know and using easy to find spagetti noodles) and it is always a hit. Thanks for introducing it to me!

I made this earlier in the week and loved it – great leftovers, too. My boyfriend made a face when I said there was tofu in it, so I used chicken for protein instead; I would like to try it with tofu at some point, though.

Not All Men to the rescue!

Hello! I think this is my first comment on your blog. I just wanted to tell you that I made this recipe tonight and both myself and the usually-tofu-hatin’ husband loved it.[...]

Thanks so much for this recipe. It has become one of my husband’s favorites! Once I substituted some Asian spiced pork for the tofu and, surprisingly, he said this dish is so good he didn’t miss the meat in it and prefered it vegetarian! We make it all the time! The first time he ate he, he even got a little teared up at how good it tasted. :)

We ate this warm with crispy tofu, green bell pepper and sauteed cabbage. SO good! My husband wouldn’t stay out of the sauce.
