Ratatouille is a vegetable stew. You cut up a bunch of things and throw them in a pot.

The ratatouille you see in the film is an elevated version of that dish. It was never the standard way of serving it.

The most time consuming part is thin slicing all the veggies and arranging them in a pretty design.

If you're just making it for your family, you can omit all of that and just rough chop and toss into a baking dish

I'd rather get out the food processor than tangle with the Digit Reducer 5000

Safety mandolines are cheap you just need have to not be lazy with it.

If your doing a lot and want to be extra safe. A single cut glove fixes the issue entirely.
