This movie Ratatouille which is about a rat who wants to be a chef is in a way cute and in some ways disgusting. But I think it made the dish Ratatouille popular. Well...being from a different part of the world than where this dish is made I wouldn't have known about it if it was not for the movie
First thing because it has no meat and next thing because it is supposed to be peasant's food. Another thing because I hardly search for any recipes with the vegetables in this dish. I made it and hubby dear loved it. So here it is
Ratatouille (Very healthy baked vegetable dish)
Ingredients:
1. 1 medium zucchini, 1 medium yellow squash, 1 Japanese eggplant, 1 small red bell pepper, 1 medium small onion, 2 roma tomatoes
2. 1 small can of tomato puree
3.1 teaspoon thyme
4.1 tablespoon olive oil
5.3 big cloves of garlic minced
6. ½ to ¾ cup roughly chopped fresh basil
7. ½ teaspoon cumin, salt, pepper
8. ¼ cup finely chopped onion
9.2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese (optional)
