All of the dishes in Ratatouille, although they exist only in cartoon form, look incredibly appetizing. One TikToker who agrees decided to recreate the signature dish the movie is named after, and it looks spot-on in every way, all the way down to the final plating.
TikToker @jalenlcraig is the chef behind the recreation that looks like it came straight out of the TV. To make the sauce for it, she started by dicing veggies. She then roasted bell and jalapeño peppers right over a stove burner to get a smokey flavor. Once she chopped those up, she threw them in a pan with the other veggies, tomato sauce, salt, pepper, and fresh thyme. While she let that simmer, she sliced more veggies using a mandolin. When the sauce was ready, she put it in a circular pan and added a layer of veggies in a circular pattern like in the movie. Finally, she put a garlic and thyme mixture on top with more salt and pepper. She popped it in the oven at 250 degrees for about three hours.
When the meal was done in the oven, she took a tiny serving and fashioned it into a small mound with a chive on top and strategically placed sauce on the plate as it's shown in the movie. To make the meal more filling, she added a serving of rice.
This TikToker isn’t the first to attempt this ratatouille recreation, but many people in the comments wrote that hers is the most realistic one they’ve seen yet. Agreed!
