Ratatouille is a classic French Provençal stewed vegetable dish, originating from Nice. It's known for its rich flavors brought out by a combination of fresh vegetables simmered together in a fragrant tomato-based sauce. Although traditionally served as a side dish, ratatouille can also stand alone as a vegetarian main course when paired with crusty bread or rice.

Step 1: Prepare Vegetables

Wash all the vegetables thoroughly. Dice the eggplant, zucchini, and bell peppers into 1-inch cubes. Slice the onions thinly. Mince the garlic cloves.

Step 2: Cook Vegetables

In a large pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic, sauté until translucent. Add the bell peppers and cook until soft. Stir in the eggplants and zucchini, cooking until they start to brown.

Add the diced tomatoes, thyme, and rosemary to the pan. Season with salt and pepper. Stir well to combine all ingredients.

Lower the heat and cover the pan. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until all the vegetables are tender and the flavors meld together.
