Aubergine Eggplant Parmigiana Recipes

Steps:

• In a colander, toss eggplant with 2 teaspoons salt. Let stand 30 minutes. Arrange slices in a single layer on a dish towel and roll up tightly to extract excess water.
• Meanwhile, in a medium pot, bring tomatoes and garlic to a boil. Reduce heat and cook at a rapid simmer until thickened, 30 minutes.
• In a shallow dish, combine breadcrumbs and 1/4 cup Parmesan; season with salt and pepper. Put flour and eggs in two more shallow dishes. Coat eggplant in flour, shaking off excess. Dip in egg, letting excess drip off. Coat with breadcrumbs.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a large straight-sided skillet, heat oil over medium-high (a few breadcrumbs should sizzle when added). In batches, fry eggplant until golden brown and tender, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Drain on a paper-towel-lined baking sheet.
• Spread 1 cup tomato sauce in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Top with half the eggplant, overlapping slices slightly, 2 cups sauce, and half the mozzarella. Repeat with remaining eggplant, sauce, and mozzarella, then sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan.
• Bake until sauce is bubbling and cheese is golden, about 30 minutes. Let cool 15 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• mix egg and milk together in bowl, blend.
• heat olive oil in med frying pan.
• dip eggplant slices into egg/milk mixture.
• dip eggplant into breadcrumbs.
• place 4 slices at a time, into olive oil in frying pan.

Steps:

• Using a vegetable peeler, peel random strips of skin from the eggplants; save the skins for use in my Vegetable Stock Recipe #135453; slice the eggplants thinly.
• Heat the oil in a large - preferably non-stick - pan. Make sure that the oil is hot (but not so hot that the crumbed eggplant slices burn) before adding each batch of crumbed eggplant slices so that the surface is immediately sealed; eggplant is notorious for absorbing oil and will do just that if the oil is too cool and you'll end up using a very large quantity of oil!
• Mix the minced garlic and dried basil with the breadcrumbs.
• Coat the eggplant slices in flour; shake off the excess; dip in the egg, then in the breadcrumb mixture; shallow-fry in batches, until lightly browned; drain on absorbent paper.
• Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan-forced/400°F/gas mark 6.
• Mix cheeses together and mix in the walnuts (if using).
• Spread about one-third of the pasta sauce over the base of a well-greased 2.5 litre (10-cup) ovenproof dish; top with about one-third of the eggplant, one-third of the cheeses and one-third of the oregano; repeat layering.
• Bake, covered, for 20 minutes; uncover (and add chopped bacon, if using); bake for 10 minutes or until the surface is lightly browned (and the bacon, if using, is cooked and crisped).

Steps:

• Trim the eggplants and cut them into 1/4 inch thick slices.
• Layer the slices in a colander, sprinkling each layer with salt.
• Let drain for 30 minutes.
• Rinse the eggplant and pat dry.
• Pour about 1/2 inch oil a large deep skillet and heat over medium heat.
• Fry the slices, in a single layer, turning once, until browned on both sides.
• Drain on paper towels.
• Preheat the oven to 350.
• Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce in a shallow baking dish.
• Make a layer of eggplant slices, overlapping them slightly.
• Top with a layer of mozzarella, another layer of sauce, and a sprinkle of grated cheese.
• Repeat the layering, ending with eggplant, sauce, and grated cheese.
• Bake for 45 to 60 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbling and the mozzarella is melted.
• Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Dust the eggplant with flour, dip in egg and panfry in a non-stick pan in oil.
