Question 1

Chiffonade

Answer 1

Chiffonade (French pronunciation: ​[ʃi.fɔ.nad]) is a chopping technique in which herbs or leafy green vegetables (such as spinach and basil) are cut into long, thin strips.[1] This is accomplished by stacking leaves, rolling them tightly, then slicing the leaves perpendicular to the roll.[2] The technique can also be applied to crepes or thin omelets to produce strips.
“Chiffonade” means little ribbons in French, referring to the little ribbons you create while cutting.

Question 2

Pecorino

Answer 2

Cheese: Pecorino is the name of a family of hard Italian cheeses made from ewe’s milk. The word derives from Italian pecora meaning ‘sheep’, which in turn is from the Latin pecus meaning livestock.[1]
