With tomatoes, eggplant, zucchini, yellow squash, and corn still in season, I needed a recipe that can combine all the above ingredients together. I saw the ratatouille recipe on one of my favorite culinary blogs - the Kitchn, and decided to cook the heck out of the vegetables.

Aubergine, gives the stew a soft and spongy texture. Its skin contains nasunin, which protects our brain cell membranes.

Playing with the fire…roasting a red bell pepper on the stove. Roasted pepper makes ratatouille smell smoky, the way I like my vegetable stew.

Roasted tomatoes are easier to cook down; therefore, save time during simmering stage.

Ratatouille…the food, not the movie (a Disney movie; thus the title of this entry).

And dinner is served.

Although I haven’t watched Ratatouille, at least I won’t be the last person to cook the dish!

Are there any more movie titles based on a type of dish or food?
