Glens Falls Gourmet <\/a>foodie Jennifer grabbed some beautiful eggplants & flat leaf parsley from her garden and was kind enough to share! I wanted to use them while they were fresh out of her garden. My husband suggested Eggplant Parmesan. That’s the only suggestion I needed. We both love it, so off I went.
\n
<\/p>\nIngredients:<\/b><\/p>\n\n- 3 large cans of crushed tomatoes<\/li>\n
- 4 Italian sausage links<\/li>\n
- Garlic<\/li>\n
- 1\/2 cup diced onion<\/li>\n
- 3 large cloves of garlic (minced)<\/li>\n
- Olive oil<\/li>\n
- Red wine<\/li>\n
- Seasoning: parsley, oregano, thyme, rosemary, basil, salt, pepper.<\/li>\n
- 2 large eggplants<\/li>\n
- bread crumbs<\/li>\n
- 4 eggs<\/li>\n
- Corn oil for frying eggplant
\n
<\/li>\n - Parmesan cheese<\/li>\n
- 8 ounces good mozzarella cheese<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Get cooking: <\/b><\/p>\n\n- Coat the bottom of a saucepan with olive over medium high heat<\/li>\n
- Poke holes in the sausage w\/ a fork and brown in the oil<\/li>\n
- Add onion and garlic (sweat them, don’t let them brown)<\/li>\n
- Deglaze with about 1\/4 cup of the red wine & cook down on low<\/li>\n
- Add tomatoes, seasoning and simmer
\non very low for at least one hour. Stir every so often to keep from sticking<\/li>\n
- Peel the eggplant and slice into 1\/4 inch pieces<\/li>\n
- Soak eggplant in beaten eggs (beat them w\/ some parsley, salt, pepper & Parmesan cheese<\/li>\n
- Dredge the eggplant in seasoned breadcrumbs with parsley, salt, pepper & Parmesan cheese mixed in<\/li>\n
- Fry the eggplant in corn oil until golden brown<\/li>\n
- Drain on a paper towel
<\/li>\n - Remove sausages from the sauce (they are for flavor) I serve them on sanwiches for another meal usually<\/li>\n
- Cover the bottom of a 9 x 13 baking dish with sauce<\/li>\n
- Alternate layers of eggplant, cheese, sauce (in that order) until ingredients are all used and your final layer is cheese<\/li>\n
- Bake at 350 until cheese is bubbling<\/li>\n
- Take out and let it rest<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Tip: <\/b>I always recommend letting any<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
casserole dish sit and rest to let the ingredients really meld together. If you cut it right away, it may turn into a soupy mess. Don’t be in a rush.<\/p>\n
Serve: <\/b>I like to serve in a pasta bowl with some of the extra sauce on the side, salad and garlic bread. Enjoy!<\/p>\n
