What is/was for dinner?

What I w

Yes.

Personally, I think that ratatouille can go with anything (or, almost everything).

Anyway, I have had it with sausages, or fillet steak (which has also been served to me in a really good French restaurant, along with sautéed, or dauphinoise, potatoes), or chicken thighs.

Actually, moving beyond meat, I have even served it with cod (or any firm white fish) fillets, and that also works exceptionally well.

What I was alluding to was cooking the meat component in the ratatouille akin to a one pot meal, casserole etc. Have you run into a version like this?

No.

While I will serve meat (be it steak fillet, chicken thighs, or sausage, or pork or lamb chop) - or, for that matter, a fillet of firm white fish - with ratatouille, I have never seen it served (either in a restaurant, or in somebody's home in France, or, when I have prepared it myself when hosting dinner parties or when dining toute seule), with a protein accompaniment in the form of a one pot dish.

That is not to say that it cannot be done; just that I have never seen it done, and nor have I ever served it in such a way, myself.
