All I can say is if you do not watch it, you will be missing out on a very very very special movie. I have never written a review on here before, but this movie made me write one. In the hilarious new animated-adventure, Ratatouille, a rat named Remy dreams of becoming a great chef despite his family's wishes and the obvious problem of being a rat in a decidedly rodent-phobic.
Ratatouille is one of the most popular of current trending foods in the world. It is simple, it’s fast, it tastes yummy. It is appreciated by millions daily. Ratatouille is something which I have loved my entire life. They are fine and they look wonderful.
To begin with this particular recipe, we must prepare a few components. You can cook ratatouille using 13 ingredients and 8 steps. Here is how you can achieve it.
The ingredients needed to make Ratatouille:
- Make ready 1 zucchini; medium dice
- Prepare 1 yellow squash; medium dice
- Get 1 eggplant; peeled and medium dice
- Make ready 1 bell pepper; medium dice
- Take 1 red onion; medium dice
- Make ready 3 large tomatoes
- Make ready 3 clove garlic; minced
- Prepare 1 handful basil; chiffonade
- Take 1 bunch parsley; chopped
- Prepare 1 tbsp thyme; minced
- Prepare 3/4 cup vegetable stock
- Prepare 1 vegetable or olive oil
- Prepare 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.
