How To Make Ratatouille
"[Humans] don't just survive; they discover; they create. I mean, just look at what they do with food!" – Remy
There is so much the Disney animated film, Ratatouille has right about humanity, capabilities of individuals, and most importantly... food! Though accurately put by the character, Linguini, “Ratatouille doesn’t sound delicious. It sounds like ‘rat’ and ‘patootie.’ Rat-patootie.” But, contrary to the name, it is quite a delicious dish. So, in celebration of the upcoming musical adaptation of the hit 2007 film, we decided to share a bit of homemade Ratatouille! Take a nibble of our special BigOven Ratatouille or any of these special user renditions!
If you are what you eat, then only eat the good stuff, with these recipes:
BigOven Original Video Recipe: Ratatouille
This rustic main or side dish made with humble vegetables and aromatic herbs tastes like late summer in a bowl. To serve, we recommend letting it take center stage while pairing it with a bottle of red and a crusty loaf of bread. Find more original recipes @BigOven.

Ratatouille Frittata
“Change is nature, Dad. The part that we can influence. And it starts when we decide.” – Remy, Ratatouille

Southern Ratatouille
“You know? American.” – Chef Skinner, Ratatouille
In the film, Chef Skinner references the idea of a corn dog with scorn calling it “American,” but like the idea of a rat cooking, American cuisine is not given credit for the creativity and taste it deserves! All these qualities are exemplified in the nature of this Southern Ratatouille recipe by @EatingWell.
