What is Baton?

Baton — In culinary terms, a baton means something - usually a vegetable, such as a carrot, courgette or piece of celery - cut into a long, thin rectangle shape. Vegetables cut into this shape are often steamed or sautéed, or served raw, as in a classic French crudité selection. If you're making a crudité selection, the recipe below would make a good dip.
