Ratatouille

Ratatouille

Originating in the French city of Nice in the late 19th century, ratatouille is a Provençal peasant dish of stewed vegetables – traditionally aubergine, courgette and pepper cooked in a tomato base with regional herbs. Although the earliest record of ratatouille dates back less than 150 years, there are a great many variations in cooking technique. According to the noted encyclopedia of gastronomy, Larousse Gastronomique, purists claim that each vegetable should be cooked separately and then combined, so that each retains its own flavour.
