Ratatouille is a classic French dish and can be prepared in several ways. Pixar, the animation studio that produced Ratatouille recently shared a recipe for one version of the titular dish. Here's how you can recreate it at home:
- Slice vegetables such as onions, zucchini, eggplants, bell peppers and tomatoes to keep them ready.
- Take an oven-safe baking dish and start arranging the vegetable slices in a single layer. Alternate the veggies so you get a good mix of taste and texture.
- Drizzle some olive oil on top of the slices. Season it with salt, pepper and herbs as per your taste.
- Bake the dish for around half an hour at 350 degrees F.
- After approximately 20 minutes, briefly remove the dish from the oven and add two cloves of pressed garlic to it. Place it back and allow it to cook well until the timer rings.
