How is Ratatouille made?

Ratatouille is a classic French dish made from a mixture of stewed vegetables, typically including eggplant, zucchini, bell peppers, onions, garlic, and tomatoes. To make ratatouille, the vegetables are sliced and sautéed in olive oil until tender, then combined in a pot and simmered together until the flavors have melded. Some recipes call for adding herbs such as thyme or basil, and the dish can be served hot or cold as a main dish or as a side dish.
