    I love ratatouille and have a couple of good recipes. This one is different again and looks good. It doesn’t say when to add the cheese though. I also had to look up brinjal. Here in Europe, they are called aubergines but I know them as eggplants.

    1. Darlene, yes we just had a similar conversation today with all the different terminology / name for the same product.
