Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

Categories     side-dish

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

Vegetable oil cooking spray
2 medium red bell peppers, halved lengthwise, cored and seeded
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup vegetable oil
Two 8-ounce Japanese eggplants, trimmed and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
One 26-ounce jar tomato-basil sauce, such as Giada De Laurentiis for Target Tomato-Basil Sauce
20 pitted medium black olives, chopped
20 pitted medium green olives, chopped
2 tablespoons capers, rinsed and drained
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons plain breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • For the peppers: Place an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F. Spray a small baking dish or baking sheet with vegetable oil cooking spray. Arrange the peppers, cut side-up, on the baking sheet and drizzle with the olive oil. Bake until the peppers are tender but still holding their shape, about 20 minutes.
  • For the eggplant: Heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat in a 12-inch nonstick skillet. Add the eggplant in batches and cook, stirring frequently, until golden, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain on paper towels and season with salt.
  • For the filling: Combine the cooked eggplant, tomato-basil sauce, olives, capers, salt and pepper in a 12-inch nonstick skillet. Bring to a simmer and cook until slightly thickened, about 8 minutes.
  • For the topping: In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and Parmesan.
  • Preheat the broiler.
  • Spoon the filling into the bell peppers and sprinkle the topping over the filling. Drizzle with the olive oil and broil until a golden crust forms, 2 to 3 minutes.

EGGPLANT, ROASTED PEPPER, AND GOAT CHEESE TERRINE WITH PARSLEY SAUCE



Eggplant, Roasted Pepper, and Goat Cheese Terrine with Parsley Sauce image

Categories     Food Processor     Olive     Vegetable     Broil     Vegetarian     Lunch     Goat Cheese     Eggplant     Bell Pepper     Summer     Chill     Healthy     Gourmet

Yield Serves 4 with leftovers

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 eggplants (about 2-1/2 pounds total), cut lengthwise into 1/2-inch-thick slices
1/3 cup olive oil
1/4 cup bottled black olive paste such as tapenade or olivada (available at specialty foods shops and some supermarkets)
3 red bell peppers, each roasted (procedure follows) and cut lengthwise into 3 sections
7 ounces soft mild goat cheese, such as Montrachet, sliced thin
parsley sauce (recipe follows) as an accompaniment
parsley springs for garnish if desired
For parsley sauce:
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves, preferably flat-leaved
1 small garlic clove, sliced
4 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons water
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat the broiler. Arrange the eggplant slices in one layer on baking sheets, brush both sides of the eggplant with the oil, and sprinkle them with salt to taste. Broil the eggplant in batches about 4 inches from the heat for 4 to 5 minutes on each side, or until it is golden and tender, and transfer it with a metal spatula to paper towels to drain.
  • Line a loaf pan, 8 1/2 by 4 1/2 by 2 1/2 inches, with plastic wrap, leaving a 3-inch overhang, and in it arrange the eggplant, the olive paste, the bell peppers, and the goat cheese in several layers, beginning and ending with the eggplant. Cover the eggplant with the plastic overhang, weight the terrine with a 3-to-4-pound weight (such as a loaf pan filled with canned goods), and chill it for 24 hours. (The terrine may be made 3 days in advance).
  • Remove the weight, invert the terrine onto a cutting board, and discard the plastic wrap. Cut four 3/4-inch-thick slices from the terrine, pour about 2 tablespoons of the parsley sauce onto the center of each of 4 plates, tilting the plates to spread the sauce, and arrange a slice of the terrine on each plate. Garnish each serving with a parsley spring.
  • To roast peppers:
  • Using a long-handled fork char the peppers over an open flame, turning them, for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the skins are blackened. (Or broil the peppers on the rack of a broiler pan under a preheated broiler about 2 inches from the heat, turning them every 5 minutes, for 15 to 25 minutes, or until the skins are blistered and charred.) Transfer the peppers to a bowl and let them steam, covered until they are cool enough to handle. Keeping the peppers whole, peel them starting at the blossom end, cut off the tops, and discard the seeds and ribs. (Wear rubber gloves when handling chilies.)
  • Parsley sauce:
  • In a blender purée the parsley and the garlic with the vinegar, the water, the oil, and salt and pepper to taste until the sauce is smooth and strain it through a fine sieve set over a small bowl, pressing hard on the solids. Makes about 1/2 cup.

  • Grill eggplant while sauce cooks:
  • Heat grill pan over high heat until hot.
  • Peel 2-inch-wide strips of skin from opposite sides of eggplant and discard. Holding a knife parallel to a peeled side, cut eggplant lengthwise into 8 (1/3-inch-thick) slices. 3Brush both sides of slices with 3 tablespoons oil (total), then season with salt and pepper.
  • Grill slices in batches, turning over once and brushing grilled sides with some of remaining oil, until golden brown and tender, about 4 minutes, then transfer to a tray.

Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 (8 ounce) can no-salt-added tomato sauce
1/2 cup roasted red pepper, patted dry and chopped
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon salt

Tips:

  • Choose the right eggplant: Select firm, shiny eggplants with smooth skin and no blemishes. Smaller eggplants tend to have fewer seeds and a more tender texture.
  • Properly prepare the eggplant: To reduce bitterness, slice the eggplant lengthwise, sprinkle with salt, and let it rest for about 30 minutes. Then, rinse and pat dry before cooking.
  • Use a variety of fillings: Feel free to experiment with different fillings to create unique flavor combinations. Some popular options include ricotta cheese, spinach, feta cheese, ground beef, and vegetables.
  • Cook the eggplant rolls thoroughly: Whether you're baking, frying, or grilling them, make sure the eggplant rolls are cooked until the eggplant is tender and the filling is heated through.
  • Serve with a flavorful sauce: A delicious sauce can elevate the dish to the next level. Try a simple tomato sauce, a creamy mushroom sauce, or a tangy yogurt sauce.
