I just made this recipe an hour ago and couldn't believe I was capable of making something so delicious and satisfying. I can't thank you enough for this channel. This ratatouille is hands down, the best tasting thing I ever made. I was surprised at the amount of flavor, being overwhelmed with the first bite. Now I have to try more of your recipes. Many thanks, my friend.

Gracias por la real sencillez de la cocina casera francesa. Esta receta es la de mi abuela. Sencilla y deliciosa.
This is the simplest recipe and it turned out very delicious, thanks a lot.
Made it tonight. It was healthy and delicious. We shopped at our local market and got herbs from our garden. Thank you Stephane.
This is such an amazing side dish. It can come with practically everything. Sometimes I just eat this with a baguette if I don't feel like cooking a lot 😁
Really tasty, and easier than other ratatouille recipes I've tried!
Looks great. I'm going to do this with my fresh garden veggies!

Very beautiful recipe! Reminds me a great deal of my grandmothers recipe for Calabasitas.
Tried this recipe last week & its was truly wonderful, thank you so much for making it so easy to follow. I am off to check out other recipes now. Merci Beaucoup
I watched your videos and from them I combined them into one plate of steak au poivre with bistrot potatoes and ratatouille and it was one of the best dishes I’ve had. Thank you.
Merci🙏🏼 Thank you for the healthy recipe 🙏🏼

Great recepie.
This is how i cooke my ratatouille as well. Thats the easy version and so delicious
Great job, Thank you!
What a great suggestion, to 'stripe' the courgettes and the aubergine. Am going to do this the next time I make a ratatouille.
I just made this was amazing ☺️ can't wait for my husband to try it when he gets home 😝
A much simpler recipe.. nice
Awesome!!
very nice, thank you
I knew you would be the man for a good Ratatouille, just cooked it, it was perfect. when you said unpretentious i understood. Cooked like this the veg retain there flavours and sing in a fresh, delicate, heavenly choir .
I just tried this recipe yesterday and it is definitely a keeper for me. I was not able to find bouquet garni but I simply used a bit of fresh thyme, a bit of dried thyme, and two small bay leaves. I was afraid the herbs and bay leaves were going to give the dish a very strong flavor, but the flavor and the aroma were just perfect! And yes, the red and yellow bell peppers do add lots of color but I only used what I had in hand; a green bell pepper. Overall, I truly recommend this dish to all. I am so delighted with it, thank you very much.

will comment in English because admittedly it is the linqua franca on the internet. My mother and godmother were French and since they have been gone have been looking for recipes that feel familiar. it took 8 videos to get here; baked in oven for an hour, all kinds of nonsense to me and I do not wish to offend anyone. I would recommend this simple and elegant dish to anyone; a side dish of course but if you are vegan you can change it by adding perhaps mushrooms a little more vegetable stock than usual to a cup of red lentils; vegan parmesan vr easy to find on the internet; even on rotini or penne pasta. Always room for creativity. This guy is exceptional; really pay attention to what he is doing vr important. Merci mille fois et bonne annee! (left accents off identity crisis)
Merci beaucoup.
So yummy!!

Easily one of my favourites to make. Real honest and tasty, definitely one of the dishes I make that gets a lot of attention when I make it - seconds and thirds. Its imo the darling of Provence, move over bouillabaisse haha. This video and recipe is what turned me into a lover of french peasant cuisine
Great recipe! Goes well with Poached eggs for breakfast!
Merci!
Nice recipe thanks for the great video is there a French version with a creamy sauce. Had at a hotel but can't find a recipe
Thank you so much for this ratatouille. In absence of the aromatic herbs, I used a vegetarian cube. I was tempted to use the passata di pomodoro, but there was no need as the juices from the vegetables were enough. Placed over pasta with some pecorino cheese and It was just great. We saved half of the rataoutille to combined it tonight with salmon stuffed gnocchi. A perfect recipe for this difficult times.
Good food, I made it today. And the good thing is to make alot so you can put the rest of it in the freezer.
Merci !! 🇨🇦
I love ratatouille and have made it many times. One thing I would question with your gourmet example is the raw cumin and fennel seeds on top. The flavour of both are wonderful, but personally, I would whiz them up in a spice blender and sprinkle the powder over the food. The seeds can be intense in flavour, which is okay when they have been cooked and absorbed like in a stew type dish, but they are also a bit irritating to eat raw (in my opinion). It's probably not classical, but I also enjoy with a hint of chilli or cayenne pepper.
Have cooked this many several times now for my family. My daughter who is a piscetarian especially loves it. Very flavoursome and aromatic. I put a little fresh rosemary in the bouquet garni to give it a little added Southern flavour.

Last year with a grow light I started an herb garden in my kitchen. It was a $200 investment CDN but I'm never without fresh herbs; really love lemon thyme which is often hard to find so there it is. My place isn't huge but that corner is available and best investment I ever made! Great comment, tx.

I made this for lunch today, along with your Parisian Cutlets, it was amazing. (And we are in Paris for a bit so we used the delicious market veggies.) :)

I tried this today, but goofed it up by trying to make too much at once. I wanted to make a big batch to have for the week for myself, my daughter and my son in law. Over crowding the pan and using very juicy Cherokee Purple tomato's from my garden resulted in way to much liquid in the pan. It was nearly vegetable soup. I didn't want to lose all that flavor by just draining off the liquid, so I fixed it by draining the liquid off and back into the pan and reducing it by about 80%. Added the reduced liquid back to the vegetables and wow, the flavor is just incredible. Thanks for all the great videos.
Good video. Liked it.

good you did but one thing is missing..before putting the tomatos you have to blanch them....that means put them 20 seconds in boiling water ...and the skin will peel right away....one removes skin and seeds inside the tomato..cosz the tomato has a complete other taste once peeled...just take my advice..and you will realie the difference.....this good cook maybe forgot o do so...but never mind ersonaly i add to the vegies five minute before taking pot out of heat fresh cut basil...it gives a special aroma to this easy side dish..for your guess.....
i like it ☺

Nice was definitively seceded to France in 1860, having being part of the Italian mainland throughout most of its existence. Maybe that is why there is a more strong Italian influence in its local cuisine.

Wonderful comment. The south of France was all over the place since Eleanor of Aquitaine; but your observation is exact. In occitane ratatouille simply meant stew, or following the Italian influence, ragu, essentially same meaning. Love posts like this!

mayena it is not really Italian influence, it is just that mediterranean food is basically similar every where, whatver the country. You find some same dishes that exist in Provence, Catalonia or Italy : pesto/pistou, aioli, ratatouille/caponata, tieles/tiella/empanadas... the dishsed have always travelled from place to place... between Spain, France and Italy it is basically the same culture, the modern national borders are actually quite arbitrary.
very good
I made this. I added a lot of red pepper flakes, red bell peppers, and herbs de prov'. A little splash of red wine vin is good too. I pair with white wine, and it is perfect by itself. ;)

At World Market in the USA, I would recommend trying out the International box (french one) inside is a bunch of french goodies, including a nice french salt, herbs de Provence it’s a huge packet, Dijon mustard, a few other treats. Perfect for getting in the mood for french cooking. I purchased one for my frenchy husband who was homesick.

O how I would have loved to Ratatouille that when I was working in restaurants. All of ours had to be a brunoise, lightly sauteed in olive oil then put in a ring mould on the plate. Very labor intensive.

The cool thing about this recipe is you can do it with almost any vegetable. As long as their flesh has a similar consistency (or you cook things in a different order) you will always be left with an amazing and colorful dish that's likely to wow any critic!
How do you make the tomato sauce or do you buy it?
