This recipe is inspired from the French vegetable "tian" recipe which is usually made with pretty much the same ingredients as "ratatouille". So, this is probably the reason why "tian" is wrongly called "ratatouille" by many foreigners.
The difference between "vegetable tian" and "ratatouille" is mainly how vegetables are cooked (in the oven VS stove top) and how beautiful the dish is. "Tian" is all about alternating colours in the baking dish to get something beautiful and colourful. Whereas "ratatouille" is about cutting all your veggies in cubes and throwing them in the pot.
Anyway, however you call it, "tian" or "ratatouille", the original recipe is full of nightshades (that are not AIP compliant). Consequently, I wanted to create a nightshade free version of it.

I see that you have onion listed in the directions but not in the ingredient list. Just wanted you to know so that someone isn't surprised when they go to make it and don't have an onion handy. Looks yummy. Excited to try.

Bonjour Suzie. ????so sorry about that! Thank you so much for telling me!!!! I usually see my mistakes when I translate everything to French but I didn’t notice so I had the same mistakes in both languages. Now everything is fixed. I’m very grateful that you told me this. Merci beaucoup!
