Looks good. Do you peel your zukes? I might be tempted to throw some onion in there also.

I don't peel the zukes, just the potatoes, which you could also leave the peel on for more nutrition. Yum... dirt.

Perfect timing. I have a lot of white beans, (special at Grocery Outlet) and we all know I have a LOT of rosemary. I'm going to try it tonight. I haven't checked your blog for a while.

If anonymous is Mom, be aware that the rosemary is at lifted dog leg height. If she offers you any, suggest take-out instead. :-)

Ha! I carefully picked the rosemary from the not dog accessible side. The dish was very tasty. I think some nice sausage would go well with it too, but that rather defeats the healthy aspect of the ragout.

We made it too and it turned out great. A keeper fer sure. We added one small sweet onion and threw in a green pepper we had kicking around. We did the spinach version.
