Ratatouille Frittata

As a child I never had Ratatouille (by that name anyway) but when I met Rudy Popolo he made it all the time at his home and in every city in Europe we would have Ratatouille at his favorite dinner spots.  Although my dear friend Rudy’s was my first choice, after many menus my favorite was at La Pomme d’Amour in London.  How can that be so simple after travelling around the world, and we could walk there from the Kensington Hilton.  We found the d’Amour from all the walking and some evenings too tired to venture out again for dining and soon it was our “local”.  I never had a Ratatouille Frittata anywhere than Rudy’s’ kitchen or mine.
