It was the eighth film produced by Pixar. I checked out a sneak preview of Ratatouille last night, and I must say I truly loved this movie. Everything from the animation to the score to the voice acting to the story (and especially the story).
Ratatouille is one of the most well liked of current trending foods in the world. It is simple, it is fast, it tastes yummy. It is appreciated by millions every day. They are fine and they look wonderful. Ratatouille is something which I have loved my whole life.
To get started with this recipe, we must prepare a few ingredients. You can cook ratatouille using 13 ingredients and 8 steps. Here is how you cook it.
The ingredients needed to make Ratatouille:
- Get 1 zucchini; medium dice
- Prepare 1 yellow squash; medium dice
- Get 1 eggplant; peeled and medium dice
- Take 1 bell pepper; medium dice
- Take 1 red onion; medium dice
- Take 3 large tomatoes
- Prepare 3 clove garlic; minced
- Get 1 handful basil; chiffonade
- Take 1 bunch parsley; chopped
- Make ready 1 tbsp thyme; minced
- Prepare 3/4 cup vegetable stock
- Take 1 vegetable or olive oil
- Take 1 salt and pepper
Steps to make Ratatouille:
- Generously season the eggplant with salt, and place aside. A slimey looking ooze will extract itself. This takes the bitterness away. Eggplant secret ;)
- Boil a large pot of water. Score the underside of each tomato with an "X". Not too deep, this is just to peel the skin away. Add the tomatoes when the water boils, but only for 30 seconds. This is to loosen the skin, not cook. Drop tomatoes into an ice bath to stop the cooking process.
- Peel the skin off the tomatoes. Remove core from tomatoes. Keep the soft tomato flesh and roughly chop it. This is called tomato concasse. Set aside.
- In a large saute pan, heat oil. Add zucchini and squash. Season. Saute until 90% done. Place in a large mixing bowl.
- Saute bell pepper and onion next. Season. Add garlic when 50% done and saute until fragrant. Place in the mixing bowl with the squash.
- Saute the eggplant until 90% complete. The eggplant will soak up considerably more oil than the other veggies. Add sauteed veggie mix to the sauteed eggplant. Add tomato concasse. Add pepper. You may need to switch to a larger pot.
- Add vegetable stock and cook until veggies are tender. Add fresh herbs. Adjust salt if necessary.
