We love this dish. It's good with a simple side salad.
This sounds really good. I love the idea of eggplant but I haven't been very successful in preparing it in a tasty way. I am going to tray this!

ReplyDeleteI love love love eggplant parmigiana! But I have found that eggplant is best if you sweat it before cooking it. And I peel my eggplant too because I don't like the texture of the skin.

ReplyDeleteI tried eggplant lasagna once and it was so heavy and dense. No one liked it. Maybe I'll try it again. How do you sweat it?
ReplyDeleteWe cut our slices a little thinner. Maybe 1/4 inch and we like that better. After you slice it, lay your slices out flat and sprinkle salt on them. Wait about 20 minutes for the eggplant to sweat. Then Use A paper towel to soak up the liquid. It removes the bitterness from the eggplant. I think it makes a huge difference!
