Ratatouille like in the cartoon
Description
The recipe won't take much time. It's best to choose tomatoes, eggplants, and zucchini of approximately the same diameter for a more attractive dish. Fresh thyme can be substituted with dried. You can use both yellow and green zucchini right away. In the eponymous animated film, it was ratatouille that helped the main characters impress the restaurant critic. So, I'll tell you more about it below. Serve hot.
