  Great video! In Bangladeshi cuisine, overcooking vegetable is a key method to make a great "mixed vegetable", which is a slow stewing of winter veggies like cauliflower, new potato, eggplant, fresh peas/snap peas etc and spiced with Bangali whole spice mix called "paach foron"

  I grew up in the Deep South and grew up eating overcooked vegetables. Maybe that is why Southern food is prized.

  This has become one of my favorite ATK segments. I love the science behind the recipes more than the actual recipe. If you can understand 'why' foods do what they do, you will become a better cook.

  As a French from Provence, I have always cook the ratatouille veggies separately and it's taking a long time. So I don't cook it often, but with the eggplants shortcut I think I will do it for day to day cooking now. Thanks great idea!

  I like my veggies soft with butter and olive oil. It really brings out their flavor.

  Zucchini (courgettes) become luscious and sweet when cooked for a long time. Add garlic, salt, fresh basil and a good olive oil and you’ve got yourself an amazing “mush” that tastes great on pasta topped with parm, or served “alla bruschetta” (on toasted baguette rubbed with a cut clove of garlic).<br><br>So happy for this video! Some veggies are just better when “overcooked”. Thanks ATK!
