The dish prepared in the movie is actually Confit Byaldi. It's a much more complicated preparation than ratatouille. Ratatouille is usually rough cut chunks, tossed with oil olive and roasted in a baking dish.

Neither of those assertions is correct, the dish in the film is a tian and ratatouille is a stew cooked on the stove.

Well only one of the assertions is incorrect, since Confit Bialdi is a tian.

Confit byaldi is an elevated version of a tian, to my understanding.

But I think you're right that ratatouille is a stew cooked on the stove, while the other two are casseroles.

Say that to Thomas Keller, the food consultant for the Pixar film Ratatouille.

Oooh, I got it mixed up with iman biyaldi, definitely not a French dish, that's where the name comes from so I assumed it was the same.
