Name:
The dish's full name is ratatouille niçoise, and its name comes from the Occitan word ratatolha. It is also linked to the French word touiller, which means to toss food.
Tomato is usually a key ingredient of ratatouille, and works alongside other stewed vegetables such as onions, zucchinis, eggplant and peppers.

There is some debate over whether or not each group of vegetable should be stewed individually before being combined, or whether it is best to cook them all together.
Ratatouille is also sometimes used as a filling for savoury crepes and omelettes.
There is a well known film by the name of Ratatouille, and the dish features in the movie.
