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.

EGGPLANT (AUBERGINE) APPETIZER - ROMANIAN STYLE - (VINETE)
Annie swore by Mazola oil... Annie is my mother; Her children all affectionately called her Annie. Eggplant was relatively inexpensive. It was used frequently in various Romanian recipes prepared in my home. I developed a taste for the eggplant's distinctive flavour and enjoy it to this day.

EGGPLANT ROMANO
I don't eat dairy as a rule, but sometimes you need a little to enhance a dish. Today I'm using Pecorino Romano cheese in stead of Parmesan. Romano is sheep cheese, not cow cheese which I prefer. This recipe takes a bit of time to do so set aside a few hours as there are a few steps.

Steps:
- Heat the wine in a large pot and cook the onion over medium heat for about 6-8 minutes. Stir is several times through out the cooking process until the onions are soft. Add in the garlic and bell pepper and cook, stir until tender.
- Add the black pepper and canned tomatoes and tomato paste. Cover and cook over low heat for 5-10 minutes. Stir in the salt and simmer gently uncovered until the sauce gets thick. This can take about 1 hour. Add the dried herbs and simmer for a few more minutes. Season with additional salt and then remove from the heat.
- Peel the eggplant. Cut into 1/2" slices. Salt both sides of the peeled egg plant and then put into a colander and press. I used a dinner plate and a brick, it worked very well. Do this for at least 30 minutes or longer. I let mine sit for longer. Put a dish under it and let the moisture seep out. I got a a fair amount of liquid out of eggplant.
- When the eggplant is drained run cold water over it and then put on a paper towel and pat dry top and bottom.
- At this point preheat your oven to 350'F. Spray a large baking sheet with non-stick oil spray and. Dip the dried eggplant into the chicken broth then coat both sides with the breadcrumbs. Put on your baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes until the crumbs are golden brown and the eggplant is tender, about 30 minutes.
- Get an 8x8" casserole dish and spray it with the non-stick spray and spread a thin layer of the sauce on the bottom. Arrange 1/2 the eggplant slices on top of the sauce. Sprinkle about 1/3 of the mozzarella over the eggplant. Top with a thicker layer of sauce then the first layer and sprinkle on 1/2 the Romano cheese on that. Repeat until you use up all the ingredients ending with the Romano Cheese.
- Bake, covered for about 30 minutes or until bubbling. Uncover and scatter more cheese on top if you wish, I just left it as is and baked it for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let it sit for a few minutes before serving.
- Enjoy!

Steps:
- Wash and slice the eggplant.
- Sprinkle well with some salt in a strainer and let sit for 30 minutes.
- Rinse salt off well, and pat dry on towelling.
- Heat the first amount of oil in a fry pan and saute each slice of eggplant just until golden with brown colourings.
- Arrange eggplant in the bottom of a 9 x 13 baking pan.
- Hint: sometimes I brush oil on my eggplant and place on a cookie sheet, and bake in the oven turning once to brown each side, maybe a total of 12 minutes, instead of the frying.
- Also with the pan frying you might have to add more oil, as the eggplant will absorb the oil.
- (or use peanut oil which does not get too absorbed into vegie.).
- After layering into your baking dish set oven to 350 degrees F.
- Heat the second tablespoon on olive oil in a skillet and saute onion, peppers, and celery for 5 minutes.
- Add the tomatoes and cook two minutes.
- Add the paste, and water and spices.
- Cook until thickened.
- Pour over the eggplant evenly.
- Sprinkle with the romano cheese.
- Sprinkle with the cheddar cheese.
- Sprinkle with the black pepper freshly ground.
- Bake in the oven until cheese is melted and browned and all is heated thru.
- approximately 15 to 20 minutes.
- As you can tell from this recipe each item is already cooked to your preference before going into the oven for final 15 minutes.
- So the thickness of the sauce and doness of the eggplant is already almost to its peak.
- Alternative topping.
- 3 whole eggs, a quarter cup of cheese grated and 1 cup bread crumbs, make a paste and smear over the top evenly (like a pie crust) then place in oven to bake the 20 minutes.

Add salt and pepper to season eggs. Coat each eggplant slice with flour, then dip into the beaten eggs, drain any excess egg mixture, then coat with bread crumbs and lay flat on baking sheet.

GRILLED EGGPLANT ROMANO
At the moment, my kitchens smells like an Italian restaurant. We bought some soft ball sized Rosa Bianca eggplants at our local farmer's market on the weekend and my DH requested I do Eggplant Parmesan. The eggplants are grilled without any oil in this recipe. This should make 3 layers. Rosa Bianca are our favorites. They are round eggplants that are purple and white and very mild.
