Eggplant Parmigiana Ingredients:
6 med eggplants
1 cup mozzarella, shredded
¾ cup Parmesan, shredded
olive oil for sautéing
2 garlic cloves
salt and pepper
Fresh basil leaves for garnish
Tomato Sauce Recipe >>
Eggplant Parmigiana Procedure:
Heat the olive oil gently in a heavy stock pot. Sauté the onions and garlic until translucent. Increase the heat, add the chopped tomatoes and sugar. If the tomatoes are very sweet, omit the sugar from the recipe. Stir the tomatoes often to allow for evaporation and prevent burning, approx. 10 min. Add the fresh herbs and season with salt and pepper. Cook 3 more minutes, stir in the cold butter. Set aside.
Cut the eggplant lengthwise into ¼-inch-thick slices keeping them connected at the stem end. Salt the sliced eggplants generously and set aside for 15 minutes to draw out moisture. Rinse the salt off and pat the eggplant dry with a paper towel.
Heat the oil in a sauté pan and add the garlic cloves to flavor the oil and sauté the eggplant until tender and nicely browned on each side. Form the eggplant into fans as they are cooking.
Preheat the broiler. Fan out the cooked eggplant on a baking tray. Season with salt and pepper and top with the mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses. Place under the broiler to melt and brown the cheese. Meanwhile, re-heat the tomato sauce if necessary. Serve the Eggplant Parmesan on a bed of the tomato sauce and garnish with basil leaves.
