The season to enjoy endless dinners &amp; drinks on the patio. Something about eating outdoors just makes things taste that much better. This recipe is what summer dreams are made of. It is a roasted twist on traditional ratatouille featuring all the garden produce the season has to offer. This version is a much more effortless approach to an otherwise intimidating recipe. Think chunky vegetables tossed with flavour &amp; roasted in a big pan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/french-barn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/ratatouille-vii-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3558\" srcset=\"https:\/\/french-barn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/ratatouille-vii-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/french-barn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/ratatouille-vii-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/french-barn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/ratatouille-vii-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/french-barn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/ratatouille-vii-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/french-barn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/ratatouille-vii-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/french-barn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/ratatouille-vii-330x495.jpg 330w, https:\/\/french-barn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/ratatouille-vii-690x1035.jpg 690w, https:\/\/french-barn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/ratatouille-vii-1050x1575.jpg 1050w, https:\/\/french-barn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/ratatouille-vii-387x580.jpg 387w, https:\/\/french-barn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/ratatouille-vii-scaled.jpg 1707w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The ratatouille is a great side dish to serve alongside grilled chicken or steak. It features an abundance of fresh vegetables traditionally found in ratatouille such as zucchini, tomatoes, eggplant, peppers &amp; onions. It can be served both hot or cold. If you prefer the cold route, let it sit overnight in the refrigerator to maximize the flavour. When ready to serve, I serve it over a bed of pearl couscous flavoured with a hint of citrus for brightness &amp; freshness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/french-barn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/ratatouille-vi-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3557\" srcset=\"https:\/\/french-barn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/ratatouille-vi-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/french-barn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/ratatouille-vi-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/french-barn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/ratatouille-vi-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/french-barn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/ratatouille-vi-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/french-barn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/ratatouille-vi-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/french-barn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/ratatouille-vi-330x495.jpg 330w, https:\/\/french-barn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/ratatouille-vi-690x1035.jpg 690w, https:\/\/french-barn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/ratatouille-vi-1050x1575.jpg 1050w, https:\/\/french-barn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/ratatouille-vi-387x580.jpg 387w, https:\/\/french-barn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/ratatouille-vi-scaled.jpg 1707w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Pearl couscous, also known as Israeli couscous, is similar to regular couscous, but is much larger in size.
