A Traditional Ratatouille Recipe

This is the perfect dinner you'll want to make all summer long! I think it's the best ratatouille recipe, and the key is sautéing the vegetables in stages which leaves room for the vegetables to brown and add flavor.

Then another key is to let everything simmer together to let the flavors meld and marry and you're left with a crave-able, satisfying dish you'll feel great about eating and serving to your family. What's not to love about that?!

What is Ratatouille?

Ratatouille might sound like a fancy dish that you can only get at an expensive French restaurant, but that's not the case at all!

This dish is actually a causal and super simple recipe that only sounds fancy because of it's French origin and name. What you'll find in most classic ratatouille recipes is summer vegetables like eggplant, summer squash, tomatoes, and bell peppers, along with a mixture of fresh herbs and spices.

It all comes together and is cooked up into a light and fresh stew that's you can still enjoy even in the dead of summer.
