EGGPLANT (AUBERGINE) PARMESAN



Eggplant (Aubergine) Parmesan image

This is an adopted recipe from MeanChef, a former member, his version of a popular dish. No frying involved, so it is healthier for you! A nice easy recipe. Personally, I like to dredge the oiled slices of eggplant in fine dry breadcrumbs before roasting it in the oven, then I put the sauce in the dish, layer the eggplant, mozzarella (thin slices) top with more sauce, more cheese until I have used the amount I prefer; as noted in the reviews, most chefs use less cheese than specified in the recipe. To me a recipe is a guide that I make 'my way' ! I often add dried basil in the sauce when I don't have fresh basil to layer. I don't add salt, I find the sauce and cheeses are salty enough for my tastes.

EGGPLANT (AUBERGINE) PARMIGIANA



Eggplant (Aubergine) Parmigiana image

Adapted from a recipe by Australian chef Huey (Iain Hewitson) who hosts a popular TV cooking show twice daily. Posted for the 2005 Zaar World Tour. UPDATE: In her review, BarbryT commented that it is not specified where the fresh basil is used. You could add it on top of the dish with the parmesan, although when I've made this I've sprinkled it on top just before serving. If you're undecided, perhaps do half and half, then you'll know which you prefer a second time.

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 -3 medium eggplants, thickly sliced, skin on is fine
plain flour
3 eggs, beaten
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 onions, chopped
2 garlic cloves, crushed
2 cups red pasta sauce
1 cup white wine
2 teaspoons pesto sauce
fresh ground pepper, to taste
8 basil leaves, finely sliced
250 g mozzarella cheese, sliced
freshly grated parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 200°C.
  • Dust the eggplant with flour, dip in egg and panfry in a non-stick pan in oil.
  • Drain well on paper towels.
  • Heat a little oil in a large non-stick pan and gently sauté onion and garlic. Add pasta sauce, wine, pesto and pepper. Bring to the boil and boil for a few minutes to allow the liquid to reduce a little. Season to taste.
  • Put some of the sauce in the base of an ovenproof casserole dish, top with a layer of eggplant, and then mozzarella and sauce. Repeat this process, finishing with a thick layer of sauce and a sprinkling of parmesan.
  • Cook in the oven for about 20 minutes. If the dish has been pre-prepared, you will need to cook it for longer, probably 30-40 minutes.
  • Serve with a simple green salad.

BUDGET EGGPLANT (AUBERGINE) PARMIGIANA



Budget Eggplant (Aubergine) Parmigiana image

I've called this recipe Budget Eggplant (Aubergine) Parmigiana not because it skimps on ingredients but first because I already have another eggplant parmigiana recipe posted - Recipe #135928; and secondly, when I compare the two, this one would certainly be less expensive to make. If you wanted to stretch this recipe further, you also could add a fourth layer of lasagne sheets. If I were to add lasagne sheets, I'd also be inclined to add a thin layer of ricotta immediately on top of each layer of the lasagna sheets or, even better, some ricotta mixed with cooked (well-drained) spinach. I'd recommend still having the final layer as the mixed cheeses and oregano. That means including this fourth layer only twice - and not on top! The Zaar Kitchen Dictionary has some excellent advice on choosing eggplants: "Look for smooth, shiny skin with a firm but slightly springy texture" and suggests using the eggplant within a day or two of purchasing it. This is important for this recipe as some of the skin is left on the eggplant. And don't discard the skin peelings from your eggplants: save them in a freezer bag with all your vegetable peelings and stalks for use in my Recipe #135453, the ultimate budget recipe! This is the fourth recipe I've adapted and posted here from a recipe I found in 'The Australian Women's Weekly's Cooking on a Shoestring' which has been published this year and contains lots of super recipes that certainly reflect needs of the times! The others are Recipe #365835, Recipe #366203 and Recipe #366217.

Categories     Cheese

Time 1h10m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 large eggplants (1kg/2lb)
olive oil, for shallow frying
1/2 cup plain flour (75g/31/2oz)
4 eggs, lightly beaten
2 cups breadcrumbs (200g/61/2oz approximately)
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon dried basil
750 ml bottled pasta sauce (I recommend MarraMamba's The Simplest Tomato Sauce Ever (Marcella Hazan))
1 cup mozzarella cheese, coarsely grated (100g/31/2oz approximately)
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, finely grated (30g/1oz)
1/3 cup fresh oregano leaves, loosely packed
1/2 cup walnuts (optional)
2 -3 slices rindless bacon, fat removed, chopped (optional)

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).
