Tips:

  • Cut the vegetables into uniform pieces. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Sauté the vegetables separately. This will help them develop their own flavors before they are combined.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. If you do, the vegetables will not cook evenly.

  • Serve the ratatouille hot or cold. It is a great dish to make ahead of time.
