Im Italian. Slice the eggplant 1/4" thick or thinner. Place on LOTS of paper towels in a single layer, lightly salt them, more paper towels on top and put cookie sheets or something flat on top and something heavy on top of them to press out the bitter juice. (I use my food processor, large canned foods, 4 quart bottles of wine... yes its what real Italians drink...Burgundy usually) Then bread as you do.... with eggs and seasoned bread crumbs then fry in sbout 1/2 inch of oil, then drain on lots of paper towels, then layer in a casserole dish with grated full fat mozzarella, pasta sauce, parmesan and bake about 30-40 min. Cover with foil if needed. Serve with buttered, cooked & drained spaghetti & more pasta sauce. This comes from my parents recipe, they came from Positano, Italy. Itaian-Americans call "pasta" MACARONI. Enjoy!

For years I fried eggplant like yourself. Now, I have one dish of flour, a #2 dish with 2 eggs, beaten, with Parmesan grated cheese, salt and pepper, and dry or fresh chopped parsley. It absorbs less oil and it is lighter. Geto freindly.
@ladysmith35788 ай бұрын
This looks really good. I have to ask if the egg plant is mushy or firm the way you fix it. I can only imagine how good your kitchen smells. I love the smell of pasta sauce. Makes me hungry and I have 2 1/2 hours until I get off work. Have a great evening. Hope Pop enjoys his supper. Much love ❤

How much have you learned from your mother / grandmother? I have learned from mine I've paid attention and learned a lot from them.every thing was from scratch fresh fruit and veggies nothing from a can!
@KarenJonesFoodFamily8 ай бұрын
Most everything I know I learned from my mother and grandmother, who, in my book, were the best cooks ever. They cooked fresh but also used canned. My grandmother had a huge chest freezer she kept full of vegetables. I have worked most of my adult life, so I learned to use canned or frozen and make them delicious for my family.
