Eggplant Parmigiana
INGREDIENTS for 8 people: 6 eggplants, 3 tomatoes, 30g basil, 50g Parmesan cheese, 300 g mozzarella cheese, Salt, Olive oil
Here is a delicious traditional Italian dish: Eggplant Parmigiana. For a perfect result, use organic vegetables and healthy mozzarella (SOLOLATTE – ONLY MILK is preferred).
Start peeling the eggplants and cut them in thick round slices with a thickness of about 1 cm. Set the slices in a colander adding salt on each layer. Let it sit for around 12 hours so that the water drains from the eggplants. Then, grill or cook the slices in a nonstick pan to your preference.
Cut the tomatoes in thin round slices, grate the Parmesan, clean and wash the basil, and slice the mozzarella.
Take a baking tin and set the layers in this order: starting with eggplant, tomatoes, a pinch of salt, mozzarella, another pinch of salt, basil, and finish with Parmesan. Repeat with the same order of layers for another 3 or 4 times, adding Parmesan on the very top. Lightly press before baking. Bake in oven at 200 degrees for about 30 minutes. Then, turn on the top burners for a few minutes to bake the top.
Let the Eggplant Parmigiana sit for 5 minutes and serve it hot. Parmigiana is also delicious if served lukewarm with fresh tomato sauce.
Have a nice meal!

ultima parentesi ( a luglio ho avviato una mensa vegetariana per italiani e cinesi fuori Shanghai - staff 1 ayi -...la parmigiana e' infornata a crudo con fette sottilissime. Risultato ottimo. (piu' facile, veloce, e leggerissima)
parola di cuoco non scolastico e disconnesso
Con una fetta tonda si puo' comporre la torretta di parmigiana molto piu' carinamente che disfare una teglia fatta da fette lunghe. Le melanzane fritte sono grasse e scomode da fare. Nella versione fritta semmai la preferisco impastellata (sempre tagliata tonda). (ci sono mille versioni credo, poi mi dirai tu l'original..) Col pomodoro fresco rimane piu' light. In piu' non uso salse pronte (perche' so cosa ci finisce dentro..), semmai la faccio da me...non avendo tempo e volendo postare ricette 'per tutti' ho preferito suggerire questa versione.
