Ratatouille recipe

Ratatouille recipe is a traditional French dish made from stewed vegetables, herbs and spices. It can be served as a side dish or as a main course with meat or fish. Ratatouille is known as “Le plat du pauvre” (poor man’s food) in France because it uses inexpensive ingredients, but it tastes great and can be served as a first course or entrée.

Ratatouille is an excellent way to use up all those summer vegetables that are in abundance during the growing season. You can also make ratatouille in the winter by using frozen vegetables. The good news is that it freezes well and will keep for months in your freezer if properly packaged and labeled.
