    Aaarghh! That is not ratatouille. That is vegetable stew. The key thing in ratatouille is to fry the courgettes, aubergines=eggplant (and where IS the aubergine) and peppers separately until golden before uniting them all in the pan. Believe me it makes ALL the difference. Check out Nigel Slater's recipe here : http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2010/jun/27/nigel-slater-classic-recipe-ratatouille

    This recipe is very nice, however.. What happened to the eggplant? How can you call it ratatouille with no eggplant? Also, with regards to the previous recipe videojug had posted: it actually was not that bad. I know may slammed it but in fact it was delicious & I received many compliments. And I made it more than once. I did vary it a little by using the traditional herbs found in ratatouille - basil, thyme, etc. I also used slightly less oil. And no butter as in the above recipe! In traditional ratatouille all the ingredients are fried anyway, usually individually, too, (Resulting a large mess on your kitchen counter!) So, I don't see what the problem was. It wasn't a bad recipe, really. I just think too many people saw the movie & expected Remy's pretty, stacked ratatouille (which is fun to make as well) instead of the stew it actually is!

    A much better recipe than the nasty ratatouille of previous.

    In FRANCE we use eggplant,courgettes, tomatoes and sometimes a potato or two and NO butter but olive oil plus herbs;There are so many variations.
