Etymology
The word 'ratatouille' is derived from the French verb 'ratatouiller,' which means 'to stir up' or 'to toss.' This term reflects the method of preparation, where the ingredients are mixed and cooked together to enhance flavor. The dish originated in the Provence region of France and has its roots in rural cuisine, where locals used seasonal vegetables. Traditionally, ratatouille was a humble farmer's dish, made to use up surplus vegetables and served in rustic settings. Over time, it has evolved into a popular dish found in restaurants worldwide, often presented in more elaborate ways. It gained international fame in part due to the animated film 'Ratatouille' released in 2007, which showcased a rat aspiring to become a chef in Paris, further cementing the dish's image in popular culture.
