*The eggplant
Eggplant, also known as “aubergine,” is technically a fruit, although it’s commonly served as a vegetable. The pulp absorbs considerable amounts of cooking fats and sauces, resulting in rich dishes. Eggplant can be stewed, as in French ratatouille, deep-fried, roasted, grilled or hollowed out and stuffed with fillings such as meat or rice, before baking.
