I haven't made eggplant parmesan in a long time. I tend to stay away from vegetarian meals, especially for dinner, so I suppose that is why. I paired this with a mixed greens salad topped with honey ham, so to me it was a complete meal.
Large eggplant, panko, block of reggiano/parmesan, two eggs, yogurt or milk, tamari or soy type sauce, fresh sliced mozzarella, 28oz can of fire roasted diced tomatoes, salt/pepper/oregano, olive oil, several basil leaves.
Two cookie trays, large casserole dish
1. Combine 2 eggs, Tbsp each of yogurt and tamari. Whisk. Slice eggplant into 1/4" discs. Combine 1/2 cup each of panko, parmesan and tsp oregano.
2. Preheat oven to 400. Dip discs into egg mix, coat with panko, place onto parchment-lined trays. Create additional mix of panko as needed. (When coating gets damp, it doesn't stick to discs as well, so I like to make multiple, small batches) Drizzle with olive oil. Bake for about 15 minutes, before panko gets too dark.
Spread 1/2 cup of tomatoes into casserole, then half of eggplant slices, spoon a little tomato mix onto eggplant, salt, pepper, add mozzarella slices, another layer of eggplant, rest of tomato sauce, salt, pepper, oregano, mozzarella, salt, pepper, olive oil.
Bake for 22-25 minutes. Top with fresh basil.
There are a lot of expressions that we hear now and then; most we think we know the origin of, some we don't. For the most part we just don't ponder the origin of commonplace expressions because they are... common. The first thing I discovered when beginning to read this little gem of a book, was not only hadn't I considered where many common sayings come from, but my preconceived idea of their origin was actually wrong! Kinda embarrassing, but guessing I may not be alone in this. I thought it would be of value then to share some tidbits from this book. Audio format is nice, as you can multitask while listening to this. This is my first attempt at recording reading a book, so any constructive criticism is welcome!
