Tian of ratatouille by Chef Francis Mallmann
" This recipe is for those of us who know that good things often come to those who wait. Tian of ratatouille is one of the most requested dishes in my restaurants in Patagonia and Buenos Aires. There we make it in a convection oven, but in a home oven it is also wonderful. The main thing is to cook it for about three hours on a low heat. It is important to have patience because it takes a long time to reach the centre. If you do it in a hurry, it is likely to be burnt on the outside and raw on the inside. If you go slowly, the heat goes to the centre and gives you a unique creaminess on the inside and a lot of crispness on the outside. " - Francis Mallmann
