This week I’ve decided to take a look at both a dish from my own culture but also a fun one that people love from the Disney movie. For anyone who hasn’t watched the movie, ratatouille is pretty much a traditional French vegetable stew which I thought would be perfect for the cold weather we had last week.
One thing to note is that some recipes are arranged in a dish in a more “organized” arrangement in a sort of spiral formation (like how it is in the movie) and is baked in the oven. I’ll include a picture of both arrangements that I’ve come across, but they’re both technically just different arrangements of the same recipe. For me, it was just a lot easier to make everything in a pot, but I’d definitely be interested in trying out the other version of this recipe just to see how it might be different.
I haven’t had this dish in a while, and I was honestly presently surprised by how well it turned out. I didn’t really expect anything special considering I felt like I was just cooking a bunch of different vegetables together, but it actually eventually came together really nicely into an actual stew. The ingredients I used for this were honestly pretty simple and things I could easily pick up if I didn’t already have them in my kitchen.
Making this dish was honestly a lot easier than I expected and didn’t require a lot of active work once I cut up all the vegetables I was going to use. The whole recipe took me about an hour to make, but I only had to work on it for about 25 minutes before I just let it cook. This is the perfect recipe to warm you up especially on a cold day, so I’ll definitely be making this dish more as the weather gets colder.
If anyone has any recommendations for a recipe I should check out next week, feel free to let me know. On top of that, if anyone decides to try this recipe out (or a version of it), I’d love to hear how you liked it. I also read some things about how a lot of different cultures have very similar dishes so if you know about those, I’d love to hear what you think about them. I’ll leave a link to the recipe I used down below and the source for the picture I used too.

Honestly, I am amazed on how well you cook. That is an incredible life skill you just obtained.
Ratatouille looked so good in the movie as a kid but I cannot imagine that I would actually like it. Finding out the ingredients was a sad day for me.
That looks so good! I love ratatouille! I am really excited to go home because it is one of my moms favorite dishes to make and it’s the bomb. She does hers the super traditional way and she does it in like a crockpot if she doesn’t have as much time.
