Made in Dorset: Ratatouille Recipe Inspired by Provence
Pesto & Pistou · Provencal Recipes · Side Dish · TasteWe’re still going strong with homegrown tomatoes, courgettes and aubergines here in Dorset, and with a solitary, ripe pepper this week (yes, just the one), the whipping up of a ratatouille seems unavoidable.

I like to sprinkle on a few pitted black olives or crumble fresh goat’s cheese just before serving. Explore this Post

Provençal Ratatouille Recipe
The traditional ratatouille recipe calls for vegetables to be browned in olive oil in a frying pan, each one separately, without peeling them at all. All the vegetables are cooked with their skins to preserve the maximum taste. Then, they are mixed and confit together in an earthenware casserole.
