Gordon Ramsay Ratatouille Recipe

Gordon Ramsay's ratatouille isn’t just a side dish—it’s packed with color, texture, and layers of slow-cooked vegetables that make it unforgettable!
The trick is cooking each vegetable just right so nothing turns soggy or loses its shape.
I always make sure to sauté the eggplant first, letting it soften and soak up just enough olive oil without getting greasy.
What I like most about this recipe is how every ingredient blends together while still keeping its own character.
Letting the ratatouille rest for a bit before serving makes a difference—it allows the flavors to settle and deepen.
A drizzle of good-quality olive oil right before serving ties everything together in the best way.
