Ratatouille, a dish of the Occitan cuisine, is usually served as a dish accompanied by bread, pasta or rice. The taste of tomato stands out in the midst of other veggies like zucchini, egg plant and onions. A mix of green herbs are added to give it that authentic taste and flavour. There is a traditional way of preparing this stew, where each of the vegetables is cooked separately and then layered. However, we are presenting a simple recipe where all the vegetables are simply roasted together.
