Disney’s Ratatouille Recipe
Apart from being an internationally loved animation movie, Ratatouille is a traditional French Provençal stewed vegetable dish, which originated in Nice. Considering the movie of the same name was set in Paris, there are no suprises here. But did you know that the Catalan samfaina, the Majorcan tombet and the Italian ciambotta are all versions of this same dish?
A ratatouille is a stew prepared by sautéing each vegetable separately and then putting them together in layers to finally bake. Use this recipe to whip up your very own Disney style ratatouille.
