If you think the ingredients for this tian (pronounced "tie-ann") sound like the classic dish of ratatouille, you'd be right.

They're almost identical, it's just the cooking method that's different.

A tian is a traditional earthenware cooking pot used in the Provence region of France. Thus, the recipe is actually named for the vessel it's cooked in.

A bit less oil will just keep the vegetables moist; extra oil will result in enough liquid to use to dip bread.
