Homemade Ratatouille Tian - Vegan - Recipe
Hi friends,
When you see the picture what is in your mind? A colorful dish or the movie Ratatouille? Honestly, I completely forgot that this dish appeared in the movie. So, when I first posted this pic in my Instagram and Facebook accounts, my friends commented about the movie instead of the dish itself, but now I remember. Thanks friends for reminding me :-)
Actually this dish is originally called Provençal Vegetable Tian, a layered vegetable dish that's gratinéed in the oven, and has almost the same ingredients as Classic Ratatouille. Rémy, the rat in the movie, wanted to impress the restaurant critic's heart by remaking Ratatouille in a beautiful layered dish and it was a success. So, perhaps we can say that Ratatouille Tian is combination of both? :-)
Enough with the story, now let's check the recipe. Shall we?
INGREDIENTS
- 1 medium green zucchini
- 1 medium white zucchini
- 1 medium summer squash (yellow zucchini)
- 1 medium eggplant
- 1 orange bell pepper
- 4 tomatoes
- 1 shallot
- 2 cloves garlic
- pinch of salt
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp herbs of Provence
METHODS
- In a food processor, place 2 tomatoes, shallot and garlic. Pulse until it becomes purée. Spread on the bottom of the ceramic baking dish. Set aside.
- Using mandolin slicer or sharp knife, cut the vegetables into thin round slices. The thinner the better.
- Preheat the oven to 200°C
- Make a stack of the vegetables and arrange a few stacks at a time into baking dish in a circular motion.
- Drizzle the olive oil and sprinkle the herbs of Provence.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake it for one hour.
Tadaaaa.. it's ready! It's easy yet healthy, perfect for summer. You guys have to try this ;-)

This recipe looks really good! I love a good ratatouille. Lol the movie ratatouille is how I learnt what the dish was! Let's just say, I was much more of an amateur in the kitchen back then ;)

Yes, I would love that! :) I hope you will like it.
Oooh! Beautiful and healthy!! Great post - Now if i could only figure out how to use my mandolin without slicing my fingertips off...I know that safety handle is good for something....
I cut these slices using knife, there were a lot of work :-D Using mandolin will be more practical and yes you have to be careful when you use one :-) Thank you for dropping by :-)
WOAH! you must have great knife skills because your slices are so thin AND uniform!! I'm impressed with your skill (and your patience!!)
I had to because I dont have mandolin and the next day I had neck pain :-D But its worth it :-) Thanks for your nice comment @jaymorebeet. Your works are also amazing ;-)
