Created by: Howcan Team

Ratatouille, a classic French Provençal dish, has a rich history dating back to the 18th century. Originating in the region of Nice, it was traditionally a peasant dish made with seasonal vegetables like tomatoes, zucchini, eggplant, and bell peppers. The dish gained popularity in the 20th century and became a staple in French cuisine. The addition of feta cheese, while not traditional, adds a delightful tangy and salty flavor to the dish, elevating its taste profile. Today, the best versions of Ratatouille can be found in the Provence region of France, where chefs take pride in using the freshest local ingredients. The key to a perfect Ratatouille lies in the slow cooking of the vegetables to achieve a rich, flavorful stew-like consistency. While feta cheese is not a traditional ingredient, its addition brings a unique twist to this beloved dish, making it a delightful variation for cheese lovers.
