EGGPLANT PARMIGIANA | Eggplant Parmesan Recipe
INGREDIENTS:
2 large fresh Mozzarella
Fresh bunch of Basil leaves (washed)
½ carrot (chopped)
½ onion (chopped)
1.2L finely chopped tomato polpa
Parmigiano Reggiano
Extra virgin olive oil
Vegetable oil (for frying)
5 medium sized tall eggplants
UTENSILS:
Knife
Tongs
Ladle
Alfoil
Rectangular Pyrex/Bessemer non-stick baking tray
METHOD:
PREPARING THE EGGPLANT
1. Cut the eggplant length ways into strips.
2. Line them up in a bowl and sprinkle salt over the top of them.
3. Leave this to rest for 20 minutes to get rid of any excess water and bitterness.
4. Pour some plain flour onto a sheet of alfoil.
5. After you have lightly dried each strip of eggplant using a paper towel, batter each side with flour, pressing down gently with your hands.
6. Once you have finished, heat up some vegetable oil in a frying pan and fry each strip until it starts to brown.
7. Remove it from the pan at this point and put it onto a tray or large plate which you have lined with paper towels (these will help to get rid of the excess oil).
VINCENZO’SPLATE TIP: For a healthier option, you can boil or grill the eggplants instead of frying them…but Ill warn you, the taste is just not quite the same!!
THE SAUCE:
1. Add a nice amount of extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) to a deep pot or saucepan. When it heats up, add the chopped carrot and onion and cook until golden.
2. Add the tomato polpa and a pinch of rock salt before stirring well.
3. Add some fresh basil leaves and stir them through
3. Cook the sauce for around 20 minutes or it will thicken too much (this will continue to cook later when you add it to the dish and put it in the oven). Continue to stir the sauce every few minutes.
4. Remove the sauce from the stove.
THE DISH
1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees
2. Using a ladle, put small amounts of sauce all over the bottom of your baking tray. Spread it out with the bottom of the ladle so it’s not too thick.
3. Begin to layer the strips of eggplant at the base, one by one next two each other and trying not to leave any gaps.
4. Spread some more tomato sauce on top, this time being a little more generous and be sure to add sauce into all four corners so it doesn’t dry out and burn when it’s in the oven.
5. Sprinkle a generous amount of mozzarella over the top and then grate the parmesan over it.
6. Next, add another layer or eggplant strips over the top and repeat the process.
7. Repeat this once again but don’t add the mozzarella when you get to the top, just the parmesan!
8. Put the dish in the oven for between 30-40 minutes, dependent on the oven strength
HOW TO SERVE:
Wait around 15-20 minutes for the eggplant parmigiana to cool before serving and then cut it into strips or squares for your dish. You can also garnish with some basil for a finishing touch!

Eggplant & Eggplant Parmigiana - Lidia's Italian Table (S1E17)
Eggplants are not all the same. Lidia choose and preps different eggplants, then demonstrates how to cook them. For eggplant parmigiana, a most popular Italian-American meatless dish, fried eggplant is layered with cheese and tomato sauce, then baked bubbling hot. For ziti alla nona (grandma’s eggplant and pasta), a roasted eggplant, cubed, breaded then sautéed into the pasta. Whatever Nonawants.

Eggplant Parmesan
RECIPE COURTESY OF BOBBY FLAY
Level: Easy
Total: 1 hr 40 min
Active: 30 min
Yield: 8 to 12 servings
Ingredients
Roasted Red Pepper Tomato Sauce:
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 large yellow onion, coarsely chopped
3 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
3 roasted red peppers, peeled, seeded and chopped
2 (28-ounce) cans plum tomatoes and their juices, crushed with your hands
1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
3 tablespoons freshly chopped flat-leaf parsley
3 tablespoons freshly chopped basil leaves
1 tablespoon freshly chopped oregano leaves
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Honey, to taste
Eggplant:
5 cups fresh dried breadcrumbs (made from dried day-old bread)
Butter, for greasing the dish
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh oregano leaves
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh thyme leaves
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 large eggs, beaten
2 tablespoons water
2 to 3 medium eggplants (about 2 1/4-pounds), cut into 1/2-inch-thick round slices (need about 18 slices)
All-purpose flour, for dredging
Vegetable oil, for frying
12 ounces grated mozzarella (not fresh), plus1/2 pound fresh mozzarella, thinly sliced
12 ounces grated fontina
3/4 cup grated Pecorino Romano
Fresh basil leaves, torn
Directions
For the Roasted Red Pepper Tomato Sauce:
Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook until soft. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook for 1 minute. Add the red peppers and cook for 1 minute.
Add the tomatoes, bring to a boil and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a food processor and process until smooth. Return the mixture back to the pot, add the parsley, basil and oregano and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 10 minutes longer and season with honey, if needed.
To dry out the bread crumbs:
Preheat the oven to 300 degree F.
Evenly spread the bread crumbs on a large baking sheet and place in the oven. Bake for 5 minutes, turn the oven off and let the bread crumbs sit in the oven for 30 minutes or until just dry.
Raise the temperature of the oven up to 400 degrees F. Lightly butter the bottom and sides of a 15 by 10 by 2-inch baking dish and set aside.
Place the bread crumbs into a large shallow bowl. Add the herbs, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper. In another medium shallow bowl, whisk the eggs and 2 tablespoons of water together.
Season each eggplant slice on both sides with salt and pepper. Dredge each eggplant slice in the flour, tapping off excess, then dip it in the egg, and finally dredge it in the bread crumb mixture. Shake off any excess breading and transfer the egg plant to a baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining eggplant.
Heat 1/2-inch of oil in 2 large straight-sided saute pans over medium heat until the oil reaches a temperature of 385 degrees F. Working in small batches, fry a few of the eggplant slices, turning once, until golden brown, about 3 minutes per batch. Using tongs, transfer to a paper towel-lined baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining eggplant.
Cover the bottom of the prepared baking dish with some of the tomato sauce and arrange 1/2 of the eggplant over the sauce. Cover the eggplant with some of the sauce, grated mozzarella, fontina, Romano cheese and some of the basil. Repeat to make 3 layers ending with the sauce. Top with the fresh mozzarella and remaining Romano and bake until hot and just beginning to brown, about 30 minutes. Let rest 10 minutes before serving.
