Ask a chef

We might have to ask York, but I think these are British names. Maybe French, since it is ratatouille. Aubergine is eggplant and courgettes are summer squash. I suppose you could use zucchini or yellow. Have you ever seen the animated movie Ratatouille? One of our favorites!

Quote: aubergines = eggplant
courgettes = Zucchinni

the others we know..... Good ole Google. If you dont know a word or its a term unfamiliar all you have to do is type it in the search bar...

I suspect you use what ever is fresh and available. Since I have never made the dish I looked up the recipe to get a feel for how its seasoned and cooked.

There are quite a few British terms I have run across over the years that just floored me....

I like Jaime Olivers cooking as well as the nutritional break down for the dish... lets me know where to lean it out...

technically it's just a cream sauce and if you have shallot on hand please use it. You'll be happy to not have to make a rue but can certainly add a little wine while the veg is cooking for flavor. You can add whatever you want really. Even make Mac and cheese with a nice sharp chedder. Keep the sauce a little thinner and you can do oven bakes.

I have been daydreaming about a Caprese Grilled cheese I made a few months back

tomato paste mixed with some basalmic vinegar smeared on the bread both halves. Fresh Mozzerella slices My bread fits two. Topped with Fresh basil leaves... Assemble spits the outside with olive oil and cook like any Grilled cheese. OH MY GAWD Oh and I use Sourdough bread because I like it.

Cheeze two ounces 6 points
Bread two slices 7 points

Sooo good.

If I were a Chef I would figure out some herbage to cook into the tomato paste..... Possibly Garlic and onion and fresh cracked pepper. but it needs to be a spread so the sandwich isnt too messy.

that's genius, I might steal this for a special sometime.
I'm a big fan of fresh grilled tomato in a grilled cheese. So I'm thinking basil aioli some nice hearty heirloom tomato slices flash seared and that fresh mozzarella. Mmmmmm. And yes sourdough for sure.
