GRANDMA'S ITALIAN EGGPLANT PARMIGIANA



Grandma's Italian Eggplant Parmigiana image

This heirloom Italian family recipe came stateside with my grandmother when she immigrated from Italy. Growing up in a house that had Italian sauce being made every Sunday, this eggplant was always a favorite. Using good quality ingredients is critical for this recipe. It is very time consuming and laborious. It would be a shame to invest all of this time and effort with inferior ingredients only to be let down when you eat it later.

Time 9h35m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 medium Italian eggplants, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch slices
2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
3 tablespoons sea salt, or to taste
1 tablespoon ground black pepper, or to taste
5 eggs, room temperature
3 tablespoons water, room temperature
½ cup extra-virgin olive oil, or as needed
2 cups freshly grated Pecorino-Romano cheese, divided
40 ounces Italian-style tomato sauce
2 cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese
30 ounces freshly grated mozzarella cheese

Steps:

  • Lay eggplant slices on top of paper towels and sprinkle with sea salt to draw out moisture. Cover with additional paper towels. Let sit, 8 hours to overnight.
  • Place flour into a 1-gallon plastic zip-top bag. Sprinkle salt and pepper into the flour and shake the bag to mix. Place 6 eggplant slices into the bag, seal, and shake to coat.
  • Beat eggs and water together using a fork in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Heat 2 inches of oil over medium-high heat in a 10-inch cast iron skillet. Line baking sheets with paper towels to drain eggplants after frying.
  • Shake excess flour from eggplant slices and place into egg mixture, turning to ensure both sides are coated. Allow excess egg mixture to drip off before placing slices into the hot oil. Fry until slightly golden, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to the paper towel-lined baking sheets. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon Pecorino Romano cheese. Repeat process until all eggplant slices are fried. Let cool slightly, about 5 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Pour a small amount of tomato sauce into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking pan to cover. Place 1/3 of the eggplant slices over sauce, slightly overlapping them. Sprinkle 1/3 of the remaining Pecorino-Romano cheese and Parmesan cheese evenly over the slices. Cover with a light layer of sauce. Sprinkle 1/3 of the mozzarella cheese over sauce. Repeat for a total of 3 layers.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly, about 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes to set.

ITALIAN BAKED EGGPLANT WITH PARMESAN (PARMIGIANA DI MELANZANE)

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     European     Italian

Time 3h5m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 pounds large eggplants, sliced lengthwise into 1/4-inch slices
2 tablespoons coarse salt, or as needed
5 cups vegetable oil for frying
2 tablespoons flour for dredging
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
½ onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, halved
3 (15 ounce) cans tomato puree
8 leaves fresh basil leaves, halved
salt to taste
1 ½ (16 ounce) packages fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced
2 ½ cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Place a single layer of eggplant slices in a colander sitting on a plate and sprinkle with coarse salt. Cover with a second layer and sprinkle with salt. Repeat with remaining eggplant. Place a plate on top and add a weight to put pressure on the eggplant slices. Let stand at room temperature for about 1 hour.
  • Rinse eggplant slices under running cold water to wash off all the salt. Pat dry on all sides with paper towels.
  • Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Dredge eggplant slices in flour on both sides and add to the hot oil, working in batches. Deep fry eggplant until golden, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
  • Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat; cook garlic and onion until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add tomato puree, 4 basil leaves, and salt. Cook, stirring often, until sauce starts to thicken, about 20 minutes. Remove sauce from heat. Discard garlic and stir in remaining 4 leaves basil.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Spread a layer of tomato sauce over the bottom of a baking dish. Cover with a single layer of eggplant slices. Top with more sauce, mozzarella slices, and Parmesan cheese. Continue making layers, a total of 3 to 5, finishing with tomato sauce and grated Parmesan cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until heated through and bubbling, 30 to 40 minutes. Remove from oven and let stand for 20 minutes before serving.

REAL DEAL EGGPLANT PARMESAN



Real Deal Eggplant Parmesan image

This is my own recipe, which I finally wrote down because my children nag me ;D It's not as tricky as it may seem -- it's really very easy, and your efforts will be rewarded. There's no frying! The original dish is actually named "Parmigiana", for the Sicilian method of lattice, called "parmiciana".

Provided by Tam D

Categories     Other Main Dishes

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 21

2 large eggplant
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 lb pecorino cheese, sliced or shredded
1 c grated parmesan cheese
DIP
3 eggs
2-4 Tbsp milk or water
DREDGE
1 c flour
3 Tbsp dried oregano, crushed
2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
COAT
1 c italian seasoned breadcrumbs
SAUCE
32 oz can(s) crushed or diced tomatoes
2 Tbsp dried oregano, crushed
1 tsp dried basil, crushed
1 Tbsp dehydrated onion flakes
1 tsp dehydrated minced garlic
2-4 Tbsp burgundy wine

Steps:

  • 1. Prepare a large baking sheet with food release spray.
  • 2. Cut eggplant, crosswise, into 1/4-1/2 inch slices. Arrange the slices on the baking sheet. Brush or spray the slices with the olive oil.
  • 3. Bake eggplant slices at 450 degrees for 10 minutes. While the eggplant is baking prepare the dip, dredge, and coat mixtures, and the sauce.
  • 4. DIP: Beat the eggs with the milk or water. Set aside in a shallow bowl or dish. DREDGE: Mix the flour with the 3T of oregano, salt and pepper. Set aside in a shallow bowl or dish. COATING: Place the breadcrumbs in a shallow bowl or dish. Set aside.
  • 5. SAUCE: Put tomatoes, 2T of oregano, basil, onion, garlic, and wine in pitcher of the blender, and pulse until combined.
  • 6. Prepare a 9x13 baking dish with food release spray. Spread a thin layer of the tomato sauce in the bottom of the baking dish.
  • 7. Dip the eggplant slices, one at a time, into the egg mixture, then dredge in the flour mixture. Dip again into the egg mixture and then coat with the breadcrumbs. Layer half of the eggplant slices in the baking dish.
  • 8. On top of prepared eggplant slices, layer half the pecorino and sprinkle with 1/3 cup of parmesan. Make a second layer, beginning with more eggplant slices, then remaining pecorino, and another 1/3 cup of parmesan.
  • 9. Pour the remaining tomato sauce over the top to cover. Combine the remaining 1/3 cup of parmesan with any remaining breadcrumbs, and sprinkle over the top.
  • 10. Bake 40 minutes at 375 degrees. Allow to rest 10 minutes before serving.
  • 11. NOTE: 1) If possible, try to select eggplant as evenly shaped as possible -- not too much wider at one end than the other. 2) Pecorino is the original cheese, but mozzarella works, too. 3) I used almond meal/flour in place of all purpose flour, to make this recipe Paleo friendly -- it worked perfectly! You can leave off the cheeses, or if you don't mind "coloring outside the lines" a bit, try using a little goat cheese to replace the pecorino, and leave off the parmesan. 4) If you prefer, you can slice the eggplant lengthwise, then layer the planks in the opposite direction on the second layer. Crushing the dried herbs in your hand before putting them into the recipe helps release their wonderful flavor and aroma.

GRANDMOM-STYLE BAKED EGGPLANT PARMESAN



Grandmom-Style Baked Eggplant Parmesan image

The real-deal, pan fried, layered with marinara and mozzarella, and baked.

Provided by Unpeeled

Categories     dinner     Main Course

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 large eggplant
1 1/2 tablespoons kosher salt
1 cup all-purpose flour
3 eggs, whisked
2 cups plain breadcrumbs (I prefer panko)
3 cups marinara or other tomato sauce (recipe linked below)
1 1/2 cups freshly-shredded low-moisture mozzarella
fresh black pepper
neutral oil, such as canola, for frying
2 large pinches grated Parmigiano-Reggiano or Pecorino-Romano cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley, optional

Steps:

  • Peel the eggplant and slice it horizontally into slices no more than 1/4" thick.
  • Line a half-sheet pan or large baking pan with paper towels. Lay the eggplant in a single layer and salt generously, front and back. Do another layer of paper towels if necessary. Let the eggplant sit for about 30 minutes. This is a good time to make your marinara and get your mise en place set up for the frying.
  • Make your marinara. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Set up three flat-bottomed bowls (wide soup or salad bowls work great): one with flour, one with whisked eggs, and one with breadcrumbs.
  • Pat the eggplant dry of excess moisture. The salt should have dissolved and mostly absorbed into the eggplant. This is why you don't need extra salt in the recipe. Reserve the sheet pan and line it with fresh paper towels.
  • Working one at a time, dredge the eggplant slices in flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs, coating fully and shaking off the excess.
  • Heat enough oil in a large skillet to be about 1/8" high in the pan, or slightly less, over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add a few eggplant slices and cook them until golden brown on each side, about three minutes per side. Watch the temperature of the oil. You may need to adjust the heat a little as you go. Drain the cooked eggplant on the paper towel-lined sheet pan.PRO TIP: How do you know the oil is ready? It should be about 350°F. But I don't use a thermometer. I look to see if the oil is shimmering, and drop a pinch of breadcrumbs into the oil. They should sizzle. If the oil is smoking, it is way too hot.
  • Spoon a thin layer of marinara into the bottom of a lightly-greased casserole pan. Layer fried eggplant slices to cover the bottom. Do another ladle of marinara over the eggplant. You do not have to fully coat the eggplant. Dollops are fine. Sprinkle a generous amount of the mozzarella. Repeat, layering the eggplant, marinara, and finishing with the mozzarella. Add the large pinches grated Parmigiano-Reggiano or Pecorino-Romano cheese.
  • Bake 20 to 25 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Serve hot, preferably with a side of pasta, a sprinkle of chopped Italian parsley, and additional grated cheese.

When oil is hot, drop them in the oil and fry them until they are golden brown, turning once. You will have to fry them in batches. Watch them, they brown very quickly.

  • To roast the eggplant: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit with racks in the lower and upper thirds of the oven. Line two large rimmed, baking sheets with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  • Slice off both rounded ends on one eggplant, then stand it up on its widest flat side. Slice through the eggplant vertically to make long, even slabs 1/4- to 1/2-inch-thick. Discard both of the sides that are covered in eggplant skin. Repeat with the other eggplant(s).
  • Brush both sides of the eggplant slabs lightly with olive oil (you’ll likely need about 1/4 cup oil). Arrange them in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets. Sprinkle the top sides with a few dashes of salt and pepper. Roast until golden and tender, about 22 to 27 minutes—halfway through baking, rotate the pans 180 degrees and swap their positions (move pan on lower rack to upper rack, and vice versa). The pan on the lower rack might need a few extra minutes in the oven to turn golden. Set aside.
  • Meanwhile, to make the tomato sauce: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, warm 2 tablespoons olive oil until shimmering. Add the onion and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is very tender and translucent, about 4 to 7 minutes.

  • Optional: Peel the skin in stripes. This removes half of the skin and leaves some on for better flavor.
  • Slice eggplant in 1 - 1 1/2 inch round, thick slices. Liberally salt both sides and place the slices in a colander standing up (not flat). This helps them to drain. Place a plate on top and weigh down with a heavy can. Place the colander on a plate to catch the liquid. Let drain for 60 minutes.
  • Rinse well under cold water to remove the salt and pat/squeeze dry. The purpose of the salting is to remove bitterness (which is usually needed for larger, older eggplants) and to helps the sponge-like texture from getting too greasy when frying.
  • Set up breading station: Mix flour and salt and place on a plate, beat eggs with 1 tablespoon milk in a small bowl, and mix the breadcrumbs, Romano cheese, and black & red peppers in another shallow bowl. Coat both sides of one eggplant slice in flour, then in the eggs, and finally in the breadcrumbs. Continue breading all the eggplant slices. Set aside while oil is heating.

  • In a large skillet, heat the 3 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the onion and garlic and cook over moderate heat until tender, about 5 minutes. Using your hands, crush the whole tomatoes into the skillet. Bring to a simmer and cook over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is very thick, about 25 minutes. Transfer the tomato sauce to a food processor and puree until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Meanwhile, in a very large skillet, heat 1/4 inch of olive oil. Season the eggplant slices with salt and pepper. Working in several batches, cook the eggplant over moderately high heat, turning once, until golden on both sides, about 8 minutes per batch; add more olive oil to the skillet between batches. Drain the eggplant slices on paper towels.
  • Preheat the oven to 400°. Spread 1 cup of the tomato sauce in a 9-by-13-inch glass or ceramic baking dish. Arrange one-third of the fried eggplant slices in the baking dish and sprinkle all over with 1 tablespoon of the chopped basil. Top with one-third of the torn mozzarella and sprinkle with 1/3 cup of the grated Parmigiano-Reggiano. Repeat this layering twice. Sprinkle the bread crumbs all over the top of the eggplant Parmesan. Bake in the upper third of the oven for about 45 minutes, until the top of the eggplant Parmesan is golden and the tomato sauce is bubbling. Let stand for 15 minutes before serving.

  • Thinly slice the eggplant/aubergines then place them in a colander. Sprinkle them lightly with salt and set them aside for 1 hour. This drains off any excess water and helps with frying.
  • Meanwhile, make the simple tomato sauce. Finely chop 1 onion and sauté in a pan with the olive oil until translucent and soft but not browned. Add the tomato passata (pureed tomatoes) and a small bunch of basil torn with your hands. Add a pinch of salt and pepper, stir then let it simmer gently for 10-15 minutes. Set aside.
  • Rinse the eggplant slices under cold water and pat them dry with a kitchen towel or paper. Lightly dust them with flour, shaking off any excess then fry them in sunflower oil for a few seconds each side, drain on kitchen paper to remove any excess oil.
  • Preheat the oven to 180°C/350F/gas mark 4. I used an 11x8 inch oval dish but a rectangle or square dish around the same size will work too e.g 10x8 inch.
