This classic Provencal dish is worth more than the sum of its parts. A simple combination of zucchini, eggplant, bell pepper, garlic, and onion are slowly simmered in a generous amount of olive oil and a touch of herbes de Provence. The long cooking time allows all the flavors to meld. An initial broiling step helps to drive off some of the water from the vegetables to ensure a flavorful ratatouille. As vegetables are the star of the show, be sure to use the freshest ones you can find.
