Ratatouille Recipe - Pisto


Ratatouille Niçoise

Mediterranean Roasted Vegetables


This Ratatouille recipe brings to you the essence of the Mediterranean Diet.

The word is French and the full name is Ratatouille Niçoise.
The Spanish Pisto, the Catalan Xamfaina and the Mallorcan Tombet are all versions of the same Dish.
Roasted Mediterranean Vegetables are gently cooked together to form a delicious, thick Stew.
Ratatouille is very versatile and can be eaten on its own as a great vegetarian recipe - served as a tapa - or even as a hearty pasta sauce. Great as a tasty vegetable with meat or fish.
