Ratatouille Recipe
So if you’ve heard of ratatouille it was probably preceded by ‘Disney presents’. I don’t know about you, but when I saw that mouse making that boy dance around the kitchen more graceful than Natalie Portman in a tutu, I said to myself “Damn, I need to cook that shit!”.
I wanted to stray a bit from the idea of this dish being a side since when I first made it as a side it was a tedious pain in my ass. So here it is, the main course. Ratatouille!
