from "mini-chef" Remy
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. Ratatouille (French: ratatouille) is a vegetable stew originating from Provence. I would like to offer you the version of ratatouille by "mini chef" Remy from the animated film "Ratatouille." Originally, the vegetables were chopped and stewed. Only when the dish reached restaurant kitchens did the method change to slicing vegetables into thin rounds, layering them, and cooking them over a bed of vegetable sauce. This is exactly the version shown in the movie. Of course, it's impossible to recreate the dish precisely as seen in the film, but let's try to get as close to the original as possible. The finished dish can now be served.
