Remy’s Ratatouille


 RatatouilleThis dish was inspired by the movie “Ratatouille”.  After we watched this movie, my husband and son decided that they would like to try ratatouille. I wanted to find a real Remy’s ratatouille recipe and I’ve found it on PixarPlanet website.  I slightly adapted it and the ratatouille turned out excellent! It is both visually beautiful and quite delicious.

 

This recipe was adapted from Thomas Keller’s Confit Biyaldi for Pixar’s Ratatouille.

“You must be imaginative, strong-hearted. You must try things that may not work, and you must not let anyone define your limits because of where you come from. Your only limit is your soul. What I say is true – anyone can cook… but only the fearless can be great.” – Chef Gusteau of Ratatoutille the movie.
