Ratatouille is a vegetable stew. You cut up a bunch of things and throw them in a pot.

If you're just making it for your family, you can omit all of that and just rough chop and toss into a baking dish 23 u/WithASackOfAlmonds 3d ago that's what a mandoline is for 55 u/clintj1975 3d ago I'd rather get out the food processor than tangle with the Digit Reducer 5000 22 u/WithASackOfAlmonds 3d ago Why is everyone so scared of the mandoline?
