Ratatouille

The sum of my knowledge of Ratatouille before my culinary class consisted of the Pixar/Disney animated film.  In my class, we got to make the dish from scratch.  It involves a lot of dicing and mincing, which was the point as we were learning knife skills.  But we ended up with a hearty comfort dish, and one I know I'll make at home.
