Rémy’s Secret Ratatouille Recipe!

Orginal recipe can be found here (in Duch but with step-by-step pictures).
I've translated/adapted the introduction and ingredients (with Google Translate)

"I think everyone or almost everyone has seen the great Pixar movie "Ratatouille" on a rat who dreamed of becoming a cook. After I've seen this movie I wanted to make the Ratatouille Remy had made. I had looked everywhere but found nothing until I suddenly stumbled on an American site and finally found the real thing. I've made ​​a few adjustments and you now can steal my recipe for Ratatouille: "

Ingredients for 4-5 persons:

Sauce:

* 350 gr peppers (
pref.red & yellow)
* 350 g tomatoes
* 200 gr onions
