Disney’s Ratatouille – The Iconic French Masterpiece
Ratatouille was the stunning centrepiece dish from Disney’s 2007 film of the same name. Unlike usual ratatouille, where the dish is messy, this version features paper-thin vegetable slices arranged in a beautiful spiral pattern atop a rich sauce.

Directions

Description - Step 1

Step 1: Prepare the spices

Zest the orange using a vegetable peeler, avoiding the white pith. Slice the ginger into thin rounds. Measure out all spices and keep them ready. This ensures the reduction process goes smoothly once you begin.

Step 2: Create the wine reduction

Add red wine, 1 cup sugar, cinnamon sticks, cloves, star anise, orange zest, and ginger to a large saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered for 15-20 minutes until reduced by half. The mixture should coat the back of a spoon. Remove from the heat and let it cool for 10 minutes.

Step 5: Combine and freeze

Once the wine reduction is cold, whisk in the sugar syrup, lemon juice, and salt. Taste and adjust the sweetness if needed. Pour into an ice cream maker and churn as per the manufacturer's instructions, for about 25-30 minutes. If you don’t have an ice cream maker, pour into a shallow container and freeze, stirring vigorously every 30 minutes for the first 3 hours to prevent large ice crystals. Then freeze until firm. It should take 4-6 hours in total.
