THE BEST EGGPLANT PARMESAN RECIPE BY TASTY



The Best Eggplant Parmesan Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: medium eggplants, coarse salt, all-purpose flour, dried oregano, dried basil, garlic powder, pepper, vegetable oil, marinara sauce, fresh basil, low-moisture mozzarella, shredded parmesan cheese, fresh mozzarella cheese

Provided by Gwenaelle Le Cochennec

Categories     Dinner

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 medium eggplants, washed
1 tablespoon coarse salt
1 cup all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon dried basil
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon pepper
2 cups vegetable oil
2 ½ cups marinara sauce, divided
2 tablespoons fresh basil, minced, plus more for garnish
2 cups low-moisture mozzarella, shredded
1 cup shredded parmesan cheese
8 slices fresh mozzarella cheese

Steps:

  • Cut each eggplant into about ½-inch (1-cm) thick round slices.
  • Arrange the slices in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with paper towels.
  • Sprinkle the eggplant with half of the coarse salt. Flip the slices over and sprinkle with the rest of the salt.
  • Put another baking sheet on top of the eggplant and place something heavy, like a cast-iron skillet, on the top baking sheet to help release moisture from the eggplant. Let sit for 30 minutes.
  • Uncover the eggplant slices and pat dry with paper towels. Brush most of the salt from the eggplant with a paper towel, then transfer to a medium bowl. Set aside.
  • In a separate medium bowl, combine the flour, oregano, basil, garlic powder, and pepper. Mix well.
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan until it reaches 375°F (190°C).
  • Coat each eggplant slice in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess flour.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
  • Fry the eggplant in batches until golden brown on both sides, 2-3 minutes per side. Drain on a paper towel-lined baking sheet and pat dry using more paper towels to absorb excess oil.
  • Pour about 1 cup (260 g) of marinara sauce into a 2½-quart (2 L) baking dish and spread evenly to cover the bottom of the dish.
  • Add about 8 eggplant slices (it's okay if they overlap) and cover with ½ cup (130 g) of marinara. Sprinkle with a third of the fresh basil, then top with about a third of the shredded mozzarella and Parmesan. Repeat to make 2 more layers. Finish with the fresh mozzarella cheese and a final sprinkling of Parmesan.
  • Bake for 30 minutes, until the mozzarella is bubbling and golden brown.
  • Let cool for 10 minutes, then serve garnished with fresh basil.
  • Enjoy!

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.

PARMESAN AND EGGPLANT SOUP WITH PARMESAN CRISPS



Parmesan And Eggplant Soup With Parmesan Crisps image

Provided by Amanda Hesser

Categories     project, soups and stews, appetizer

Time 2h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

5 cups peeled and diced eggplant
2 teaspoons salt
1 cup diced Spanish onion
2 tablespoons butter
8 cups chicken broth
1 pound parmesan cheese, chopped
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
4 tablespoons shaved parmesan cheese
4 tablespoons chives, cut into 1-inch-long pieces

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, toss the eggplant with 2 teaspoons salt, and let sit for 30 minutes at room temperature. Then, rinse the eggplant with water and drain.
  • In a large saute pan, over medium heat, sweat the onion in the butter for 3 to 4 minutes or until translucent. Add the eggplant, and continue cooking for 15 to 20 minutes or until tender. Set aside 1 cup cooked eggplant to use as a garnish.
  • In a large saucepan, bring the chicken stock to a simmer. Add the chopped parmesan, and simmer slowly for 45 minutes. Strain the stock, and discard the cheese.
  • Puree the cooked eggplant with the chicken stock, then pass the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl, discarding the solids. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Make the parmesan crisps: In a large, nonstick saute pan, sprinkle half the grated parmesan into an even 1/8-inch layer. Cook slowly over medium-low heat until the cheese melts and turns golden brown.
  • Loosen the edges of the parmesan from the pan with a rubber spatula. Carefully slide the melted cheese from the pan onto a cutting board. Immediately cut the cheese into 6 irregular triangles. While the cheese triangles are still hot, lay them over a wine bottle or rolling pin to create a curved crisp. Let the crisps cool completely. Repeat the process to create a total of 12 parmesan crisps.
  • Ladle the hot soup into 4 bowls. Spoon some of the reserved eggplant into each bowl. Sprinkle with the shaved parmesan and chives. Place 3 parmesan crisps in the center of each bowl, and serve immediately.
