Ratatouille Recipe
Ratatouille (rat-ə-too-ee) is a traditional French Provençal stewed vegetable dish. Variations abound along the entire Mediterranean coast as an easy warm weather dish.
Usually served as a side dish, it can be used as an appetizer with toasts or crackers, a topping for pasta or rice for a hearty vegetarian main dish. Simmer fish filets in ratatouille for a Provençal Fish Stew.

1. In a small bowl, whisk together sauce ingredients.
2. Heat oil in a large, heavy pan over high heat. Add bell peppers, pressing down and turning until both sides are charred. Remove peppers, repeat with eggplant. After eggplant is charred, add onion, cook together for 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low, add sauce and simmer for 5 minutes. Return peppers to the pan and mix well. Cover and simmer on low heat for 15-30 minutes until vegetables are soft.
