Hi there, we're having a big party soon, and i wanted to make this in batches and freeze it and serve it cold as a salad. Can anyone tell me it freezes well?
Thanks

Hi thanks for you help and speedy too, but i really love the 'oven roasted' version, rather than the less tasty cooked in a pan...

I've seen a number of recipes for oven roasted ratatouille. They all specified do not freeze. No idea why. They did say re-heats well in microwave.

thanks ever so much for your help. I've had a quick look around other boards and there is a mixture of opinions. I think the easiest thing is to TRY it myself in a small quantity!!! I'll let you know.

I froze some leftover once, and it wasn't very good. It loses its texture and is a bit watery. That's what I thought, anyway. See if you agree, when you try it. Hope it works for you.
