Ratatouille - the name of the dish comes from the French words, loosely translated meaning "mixed meal". This is a traditional French vegetable dish of Provence, and was popular among poor people, especially in rural areas, and was preparing for a summer of fresh vegetables. It consisted of zucchini, tomatoes, peppers, onions and garlic. In a modern version of the dish add eggplant. Vegetables, usually cut into slices, laid out on a baking sheet and baked with olive oil and fragrant herbs de Provence. In other countries there are similar dishes. For example, Italy is the capones, Spain - g in Hungary - Lecho, and in Russia - a vegetable stew. I suggest lazy, that is netregistry option. I did not make tomato sauce, and cooked pasta of cheese and stuffed it with eggplant. This dish is wonderfully delicious hot or cold.
