Time 1h

Yield 3 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 1/4 pounds eggplant, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
7 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 3/4 teaspoons kosher salt
3/4 teaspoon pepper
2 small red bell peppers, seeded and cut into 1/4-inch strips
9 garlic cloves, unpeeled, lightly crushed
1 1/2 teaspoons red wine vinegar, more to taste
3/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 pound whole-wheat pasta, like penne or rigatoni
3/4 cup ricotta cheese
Chopped basil or chives

Steps:

  • Turn on the broiler and set a rack 6 inches from the heat. Toss the eggplant with 2 tablespoons oil, 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and spread it in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Broil, tossing once halfway through, until the eggplant is golden but not cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes. Turn off the broiler and heat the oven to 375 degrees.
  • Toss the peppers and garlic with 1 tablespoon oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Spread on another baking sheet in a single layer. Roast the eggplant, peppers and garlic until they are tender, 30 to 40 minutes.
  • Slip the garlic cloves from their peels and mash them in a small bowl with 3/4 teaspoon salt. Whisk in the remaining 4 tablespoons oil, the vinegar and the pepper flakes.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to package directions; drain. Toss with the vegetables, the mashed garlic, the ricotta and the herbs. Add more salt and vinegar to taste.

ROASTED EGGPLANT AND RED PEPPER GRATIN



Roasted Eggplant and Red Pepper Gratin image

Roasting eggplant requires less oil than frying. It is important to let the roasted eggplant and roasted peppers drain in a strainer, otherwise the gratin will be watery. I recommend roasting the vegetables several hours or a day before you wish to make this. Adding cooked rice to the mixture will result in a firmer gratin.

Time 2h30m

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 pound eggplant (1 large)
Salt to taste
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 medium onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
1 teaspoon cumin seeds, lightly toasted and coarsely ground
2 medium-size red peppers (about 3/4 pound), roasted and diced
3 eggs
3/4 cup low-fat (2 percent) milk
Freshly ground pepper to taste
1 tablespoon each chopped chives and parsley
2 ounces Gruyère cheese, grated (1/2 cup)
3/4 cup cooked brown or white rice (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Cut eggplant into small dice (1/2 to 3/4 inch) and toss with salt to taste. Place in a colander in the sink and let sit for 20 minutes, then drain on paper towels and blot to remove liquid that has accumulated on the surface. Transfer to a bowl and toss with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil.
  • Line a baking sheet with foil and oil the foil with olive oil. Lay the diced eggplant on the foil in 1 layer. Roast in the hot oven for 15 to 20 minutes, until the dice are soft when pierced with a knife and browned in spots. Remove from oven and carefully fold foil up over the eggplant slices (be careful not to burn yourself!). Crimp the edges of the foil so that eggplant is hermetically sealed in a big foil packet, and allow eggplant to steam for another 15 to 20 minutes. Carefully remove from the foil. Place in a colander or strainer set over a bowl again and allow eggplant to drain for 30 minutes, or preferably, overnight (uncovered) in the refrigerator.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Oil a 2-quart baking dish or gratin. Heat remaining oil over medium heat in a medium size skillet and add onion. Cook, stirring, until tender, about 5 minutes. Add a generous pinch of salt, the garlic, thyme and cumin and continue to cook, stirring, for another 30 seconds to a minute, until fragrant. Remove from the heat.
  • If the diced roasted peppers are very moist, drain in a strainer and then place on paper towels and blot. Whisk eggs in a large bowl. Whisk in milk and salt and pepper to taste. Stir in eggplant, roasted peppers, onion mixture, chives and parsley and combine well. Stir in cheese and optional rice and combine well. Scrape into prepared baking dish.
  • Bake 35 to 40 minutes, until lightly browned. Remove from oven and allow to sit for 10 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • To ensure the schnitzel is crispy, make sure the eggplant slices are coated evenly in the breadcrumb mixture.
  • Use a large skillet or griddle to cook the schnitzel in batches, so that they have enough space to cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan, or the schnitzel will steam instead of fry.
  • Cook the schnitzel over medium heat, so that they have time to cook through without burning.
  • Once the schnitzel is cooked, drain it on paper towels to remove any excess oil.
  • Serve the schnitzel hot, with roasted peppers, lemon wedges, and your favorite dipping sauce.
  • For the roasted peppers, choose a variety of colors for a more visually appealing dish.
  • Roast the peppers at a high temperature, so that they caramelize and develop a slightly smoky flavor.
  • Once the peppers are roasted, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly before handling.
  • Peel the peppers and remove the seeds, then slice them into strips or chunks.
  • Serve the roasted peppers as a side dish to the schnitzel, or use them in salads, sandwiches, or wraps.

Conclusion:

Eggplant schnitzel and roasted peppers is a delicious and versatile dish that is perfect for any occasion. The schnitzel are crispy and flavorful, while the roasted peppers are sweet and smoky. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting recipe, give eggplant schnitzel and roasted peppers a try.
