- Alternate meaning: Ratatouille (movie)
Ratatouille is a traditional French Provençal stewed vegetable dish which can be served as a meal on its own (accompanied by rice, potatoes, or simply French bread), or as a side dish. Tomatoes are a key ingredient, with onions, courgettes (zucchini), aubergine (eggplant) and sweet peppers (capsiscums) also typically included. All are sautéed in olive oil.
The name of the dish appears to derive from the French touiller, to stir. The word ratatouille has also come to be used in non-culinary contexts in English to refer to a (generally colourful) mixture of any kind.
