Classic Ratatouille

Classic Ratatouille was inspired by the Disney movie ‘Ratatouille’, which was one of the first movies I binge watched since getting Disney Plus. I loved this classic French dish. Through its beauty and flavour, one can tell a lot of love and care went into it.

Select the type of aubergine or eggplant to use in this dish makes all the difference. My favourite for this dish are Italian eggplant and Chinese eggplant. Italian eggplant has a similar shape as American eggplants but are more delicate and sweeter. I used Chinese eggplant this time as Chinese eggplants are the most delicate in flavour out of all eggplants variations. It also has minimal seeds and cooks well in slow simmered or baked dishes.

I used Le Creuset Bon Bon casserole dish for this beautiful dish which can be served directly out of the casserole dish for entertaining your loved ones or guests.

If you like my Le Creuset Bon Bon dish, I also use it to bake desserts like my Butter Tart Squares. I love how the dish is both beautiful and practical.
