Grande Gennaro! Your recipes remind me of my grandmother's and my father's way of cooking great Italian dishes! Tanti saluti dalla Germania 🙌

[@toddnesbitt3113]

Just finished my first eggplant press, one plant, an over abundance and I can’t wait. Thank you Sir

[@tenoki]

Hon. Gennaro Contaldo with the subtle skills flex in this video. Much appreciated. My wife and I just started using egg plant thanks to an up tick in genuine Italian recipe that require it. Did not know how important egg plant was to the Italian diet.

[@R.P.Miller]

Ciao Gennaro! I just love you and your enthusiasm, your respect and joy for good food and your appreciation for your heritage. Ordered your Two Greedy Italians cookbook and anxiously awaiting its arrival. Please continue to share your videos with us and Buon Natale to you and your family. 🎄🍷❤️

[@MN-om4ik]

Your video made this difficult time much better! Thank you and Merry Christmas Gennaro🎄

[@joshuaisemperor]

Got to love Gennaro Contaldo

[@kylefontanabella2865]

This reminds me of the melanzane my nonna would make. Except, she would slice it in thin wide strips and shallow fry them for a tiny bit and then lay them in a tray to pickle. So good, so nostalgic and the way Gennaro talks to himself reminds me of my the way my nonna would cook so much, especially the "oh come on!". Great video!

[@bourne3106]

So much joy. Can’t wait to try this.

[@azzmina]

I've made this twice now, thank you Gennaro!! I had no idea this is how you made these eggplants, love it!

[@gimmesomeloving]

My mouth is absolutely watering!

[@MrGhostdog89]

Love the energy, hope all is well gennaro

[@ricardoreisoffc]

Incredible simple. Bravissimo, maestro

[@theportuguesewineexperienc5235]

Oh my my..It's been such a long time to see your video again..Happy holiday Gennaro and everyone!!🎄

[@milehighed52801]

Hey Gennaro! That looked delicious! That would work for the holidays. Just came back from the Italian market. Line was around the building. I’ll have to try going there again later. This Christmas Stuffed Shells are on the menu. I did the Feast of Seven Fishes (Cioppino style) for Thanksgiving, so we agreed on shells for Christmas. TFS, Gennaro! Have a great Christmas!

[@-RONNIE]

[@dodoriadendeson3323]

Ooooh, thank you 😊 you remind me of my grandma recipe. But in Palestina we use whole small aubergines and we add walnuts to the stuffing. I love my grandma recipe but I will try your recipe for fun ☺️💕

Merry christmas 🎁🎄 Stay healthy 💪 From South Korea

[@yogablossom100]

Love love love.

[@kingk2405]

Just did it . For 6 pounds of aubergines you got 3 pounds of dry matter so half was water . I also put some pine nuts with the spices ....total cost is now somewhere in the stratosphere but when you love you do not count ! Looking forward to see the result in a month time .

[@mariamarrocco7289]

You can also add zucchini, carrots, cauliflower, celery, peppers and finocchio. Mixed giardiniera, is so good.

[@michellepaino9650]

Che grande tu sei !!! Buon natale 🎄

[@TrevJericho]

Merry Christmas Mr. Contaldo

[@tripledistilled2822]

Thanks Gennaro. I never thought of pickling aubergines! Always considered hard vegetables like carrots and cucumbers etc.

[@magda0496]

Gennaro, thanks for an amazing recipe ❤😁 Merry Christmas 🎄☃️
