If you have seen the animated film Ratatouille you will know that Remy, the rat, showed how to make a ratatouille. Real ratatouille connoisseurs, however, will tell you that it wasn’t ratatouille at all, but a typical tian. Both dishes use the same ingredients, the main difference is in the cooking technique. Julia Child, among others, insisted on cooking each vegetable separately, but many home cooks prefer to toss all of the ingredients into the same saucepan. For this recipe we would follow a more traditional way of cooking ratatouille, which means cook each vegetable separately.
