I was not sure what ratatouille was aside from a Disney movie of course that my oldest daughter enjoyed watching with her father a couple of years back. Upon watching the movie with her recently on DVD I saw a rat create ratatouille that so impressed a food critic, that the food critic opened his own restaurant and made the rat head chef. “This must be an amazing dish for it to pull off all of that,” I thought to myself, so I decided to explore it a bit.
Upon searching for recipes on the Web I found that many recipes for ratatouille are extremely candida diet friendly in their original form or at least very easy to adapt to make candida diet friendly. I decided to try a recipe by Jacques Pepin. I do not consider myself a foodie so please forgive me for having no idea who this guy is. A friend passed along this recipe to me after watching a cooking show and I Googled a few of the words to track down the owner. It is a very easy recipe and I used the crock pot to make it even easier. I paired it with brown rice but brown rice pasta or even spaghetti squash may be a nice yeast free accompaniment.
