Ratatouille (/ ˌ r æ t ə ˈ t uː i / RAT-ə-TOO-ee, French: ; Occitan: ratatolha [ʀataˈtuʎɔ]) is a French Provençal stewed vegetable dish, originating in Nice, and sometimes referred to as ratatouille niçoise (French: ).

Once hot, add the onions and garlic to the pan.

Instructions to make Ratatouille:

1. Slice eggplant and place in single layer on paper towels
2. Salt each slice thoroughly
3. After several minutes, flip slices and salt top side again
4. Heat olive oil in large skillet
5. Wipe liquid off slices and dice eggplant
6. Add eggplant to hot oil over medium heat
7. Dice onion and add to pan. Cook a few minutes
8. I like to use a variety of colored bell peppers (like red, orange and yellow) just to make it pretty. Use whatever you have
9. Dice peppers, add to pan and cook a few minutes
10. Dice zucchini, add to pan
11. Add seasoning
12. Mince garlic and add to pan
13. I use pasta sauce instead of fresh tomatoes because I don't like the skin and I usually have a jar of sauce open
14. Add sauce and cook til heated through
15. Adjust seasoning
16. If you make a large batch, you may have to cook the veggies in stages. Just add oil to the pan each time and divide the seasoning and sauce as evenly as you can
17. Serve warm or room temperature. I like to serve this with a garlic brown rice and quinoa medley.
18. It is very filling, but if you feel you must have meat, a honey mustard chicken goes great with it

Cook the onions, stirring occasionally, until they are wilted and lightly. The title refers to the French dish ratatouille, which is served at. The beautiful ratatouille served up in the movie by the same name. Long and narrow vegetables work best. Serve over a bed of brown rice, couscous, pasta or other starch, or with crusty bread.
