Ratatouille orzo with burrata

What is ratatouille?
Ratatouille is a dish from French cuisine that consists of stewed vegetables such as eggplant, zucchini, bell bell pepper, onion and tomato. The word "ratatouille" comes from the Occitan word "ratatolha" which means "mixed vegetable stew." The dish originated in the Provence region of southeastern France and is a popular vegetarian dish in French cuisine. Ratatouille is usually served as a side dish, but can also be eaten as a main course, for example with bread, rice or pasta. And the latter is exactly what I did with this dish.
In fact, the ratatouille orzo with burrata contains the roasted vegetables we know from a classic ratatouille, namely zucchini, eggplant, bell bell pepper and tomato. These vegetables, along with some delicious Italian herbs, are roasted in the oven before being added to the orzo. A fantastic vegetarian dish. The burrata on top completes it!
