Ratatouille

Farm-Tested Recipes · August 24, 2013 · Last Updated: March 24, 2019

Ever since watching Pixar’s “Ratatouille”, I’ve wanted to try my hand at making the actual recipe (which originated long before the movie!). My cookbook said to brown each vegetable individually, then layer it in a pan and baste it as it baked. I’m all about ease and simplicity, but I wasn’t just going to make a stir fry out of all the ingredients. So I went for the layered casserole approach, but without pre-browning my veggies. The end result, while perhaps not quite as elegant as that Linguini served to Anton Ego in “Ratatouille”, was quite delicious.

"It is simply wonderful what a leverage upon socie "It is simply wonderful what a leverage upon society a few acres of land, a cow, a pig or two, and a span of horses gives a man. I'm ridiculously independent. I'd be the hardest sort of a man to dislodge or crush. I tell you, my friend, a farmer is like an oak, his roots strike deep in the soil, he draws a sufficiency of food from the earth itself, he breathes the free air around him, his thirst is quenched by heaven itself—and there's no tax on sunshine."

(David Grayson, Adventures in Contentment, 1907)
