Ratatouille

A cooked mixture of Mediterranean vegetables with olive oil and herbs.

Say it: rah-tah-TOO-ee (approximate English pronunciation)

Ratatouille brings summer vegetables together in a tender, savory dish. Eggplant, zucchini, peppers and tomatoes are familiar ingredients, with onions, garlic and olive oil helping build the flavor. It may accompany another dish or take a larger role on the plate. A neat sliced presentation and a rustic chopped preparation can offer quite different textures.
