We had a family dinner in honor of my grandfather and were asked to bring a dish that reminded us of grandpa. I made Ratatouille, as it comes from France where my grandfather is from. I also made it because I'm a huge fan of the film and thought it would be fun to make. The preparation took what felt like forever. My hand was so sore from chopping vegetables into VERY thin slices. But all in all it was fun to make!
The dish consists of layered zucchini, onion, tomato and eggplant. The sauce is tomato based with some great herbs, it simmers on very low heat for some time until the water has evaporated. The dish itself cooks for 2 and a half hours :O On very low heat, this allow the vegetables to keep their shape.
