Week 2 of Ratatouille! We’re getting into some good French food this week. I got to cook sous vide for the first time! It was great! Lots of these recipes come from inside Gusteau’s restaurant. There are actually just a handful of actual food dishes shown in the restaurant. There are just a lot of instances of the few dishes. I guess they are the most popular. So hold onto your rat-tails! It’s time for some more Ratatouille!

Sous Vide Salmon Roulade with Asparagus Salad

We see a dish of a round pink thing served with veggies a few times.

At first I had no idea what that could be. A chef friend suggested that it was Salmon Roulade. Sure enough, that seems to be right because they do mention salmon amidst the background kitchen nois. Now the most common way to cook roulade is with a sous vide cooker. Sous vide is a method of cooking sealed food in a water bath to a precise temperature. Usually when you cook food in an oven or pan, you have the oven or pan really hot and you cook the food until the internal temperature reaches a certain temp. With sous vide, you keep the surrounding atmosphere of the food a certain temp and the food is done when that temperature has permeated through all the food.  Sous vide is a lot easier to cook with an actual cooker, but cookers go for at least $100, and that’s for the cheapest of cheap. But there are ways to do it without a sous vide cooker. Thats what I did. It is a LOT harder… and you have to constantly monitor the food and it isn’t as precise. But it can work…and boy does it make it tasty!

Gusteau’s Salmon on Caesar Salad

This first recipe is at the start of the movie where they explain who Gusteau is though a series of images. One image is him on a cover of a magazine holding a plate with a salmon fillet on top of a caesar salad.

Mille-Feuille with a hint of lemon

Remy finds this discarded Mille-Feuille (or Napoleon) in the trash.

He samples it and notices it has a hint of lemon. This was a slight challenge to make.. It turned out too tall and I destroyed it when I went to cut it, but MAN was it good.

Pastry Layers
  1. 200g Puff pastry
  2. Powdered sugar (as needed)
Cream
  1. 600ml Milk
  2. 1/2 pinch Salt
  3. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  4. 3 Eggs
  5. 60g Cornstarch
  6. 280g Granulated sugar
  7. Rind of 1 Lemon
Top
  1. 300g Fondant
  2. 50g Dark Chocolate
Instructions
  1. Roll out the puff pastry to a rectangle about the size of your pan and prick it with a fork
  2. Bake for 15 minutes at 200°C, then remove from the oven and cover with parchment paper
  3. Place a pan of the same size on the puff pastry covered with parchment paper. The second pan should prevent the puff pastry from rising too much, but it should not be too heavy. You can use the oven grill as well. Bake again for 30 minutes.
  4. Remove from the oven and set the oven temperature to 260°C with the grill mode on. Remove the second pan and the parchment paper and then sprinkle the puff pastry with powdered sugar.
  5. Bake for 5 more minutes (keep an eye on the puff pastry as it might burn very easily). As soon as you take the pan out of the oven, cut the puff pastry rectangle in 3 equal bands (the smaller side of the rectangle should become the long side of the bands).
  6. While the puff pastry is in the oven, you can prepare the pastry cream: start by heating the milk with half of the sugar, vanilla extract and lemon rind in a saucepan
  7. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar and corn starch
  8. When the milk is boiling, pour it in the egg mixture (in 3 parts) and mix every time to prevent the yolks from curdling
  9. Put back the liquid mixture into the saucepan and cook on medium heat whisking continuously
  10. Allow the pastry cream to boil for 2 minutes then remove from the heat. Pour the cream on a pan covered with plastic wrap, cover with more plastic wrap and chill.
  11. When the cream is chilled and the puff pastry bands have cooled down, whip quickly the pastry cream and fill a piping bag fitted with a big plain tip
  12. Pipe stripes of pastry cream all along the first band of puff pastry (flat side on the bottom)
  13. Place the second band of puff pastry on top and then pipe again stripes of cream on it
  14. Finally add the third and last band of puff pastry (flat side on top) and chill the millefeuille. In the meantime melt the chocolate and have it ready in a parchment paper piping cone.
  15. Now heat the fondant with half a spoon of water on a bain marie. The fondant should be quite runny, but do not overheat it (the ideal temperature is 35-37°C).
  16. Pour the fondant on the top of the millefeuille
  17. Quickly spread it with a long spatula all along the top layer of the puff pastry. Be careful as the fondant dries quickly (it also means that passing the spatula multiple times on the same spot might leave marks)
  18. Cut the tip of the piping cone and quickly draw multiple chocolate lines on the fondant before it dries completely. You can aim for perfection, but even if the lines are not perfectly straight, don't worry too much, (almost) nobody will notice!
  19. With the back of the tip of a knife, make some evenly-spaced perpendicular lines
  20. Halfway between the marks created in the previous step, make some more marks moving the knife in the opposite direction
  21. Chill the millefeuille for at least a couple of hours (or freeze it for 20-30 minutes), then refine its edges by cutting a few millimetres per side with a serrated knife to make them straight.
  22. Finally cut the millefeuille (only if it is cold and firm) in equal portions with a serrated knife

Lightning-y Mushrooms

Remy finds a Chanterelle mushroom and some Chèvre. He starts to roast them with some seasonings and then was struck by lightning, creating a blast of flavor.

This is where our friend at Fiction-Food Cafe came in. She had a great recipe on her site. It turned out marvelously. I did make one slight tweak to it. I added a little bit of liquid smoke to imitate the smokiness created from roasting it over the chimney. We also couldn’t find any chanterelle mushrooms, sadly. Here’s the recipe on Fiction Food Cafe, or you can just check out the video and recipe below.

Gusteau’s Souffle

Remy steals Anyone Can Cook and uses it as a boat. He finally pulls ashore and talks to Gusteau through his illustration on a page showing Gusteau’s Souffle

(Credit: Disney)

(Credit: Disney)

This recipe is special because it comes straight from the movie. I copied the recipe as it shows in the screenshot. There were some words in the steps I had to guess at because I couldn’t make out what it said. Turns out the recipe worked! It wasn’t just some random fake recipe. I did have to cook it for almost twice as long as it says though.  So without further ado, here is the OFFICIAL Gusteau’s Souffle (the words in the brackets are the instructions I couldn’t make out and guessed).

Meet the Robinsons – Spaghetti and Meatballs, Paradise Planet Rainbow Shake, toasted PB&J

|

Meet the Robinsons is kinda like Treasure Planet in that almost everyone who has seen it loves it, but it’s kinda forgotten. I love the movie. I actually think its one of my favorites…at least in the top 15. AND there is a memorable food scene in it when the family has a meatball fight! If you haven’t seen Meet the Robinsons, I suggest to go watch it. If you have seen Meet the Robinsons, go watch it again! It will leave you a happy person. I really wouldn’t mind Disney jumping into the Meet the Robinsons universe again. Even if its not with the same characters. I love the Tomorrowland-esque universe that this movie does way better than the official Tomorrowland movie.

Also, by way of announcement. Next week we’re skipping our normal post to ramp up for our 5 week Ratatouille marathon. But next week, we’re going to be announcing the start of our Patreon. Making all this food gets expensive and to keep going, we would love your support. So get ready for that announcement. There will be some awesome perks for the disneymealers that support us!
