When France meets Greece, you achieve flavours and beauty in one dish!
Ratatouille is a French stewed vegetable dish, originating in Nice. Greek Ratatouille is actually a greek "mpriam" with a french finesse. It is a simple and healthy dish of layered vegetables cooked with a tomato-garlic sauce, until tender. For extra flavour, I top it with crushed feta cheese and parsley, but if you are or prefer it vegan, you can avoid feta or use instead vegan white cheese. This beautiful and flavourful dish can be served as an elegant main dish or as a side dish with meat.
