Eggplant Parmigiana
I’ve tried again making eggplant parmigiana from this recipe.
Growing up, I didn’t really like eggplant until one day, when I wrote common entrance exams 1, the people over the road made baigani2 (which is sliced baigan, coated in batter and fried) for an Iftar3. I was highly appreciative.
Anything fried, right?
Well, I took pictures of most of the process.
Basically, slice, salt, weigh and wait, bread, fry, layer with sauce, parmesan and mozzarella. Then bake!
Unfortunately I salted it a bit too much which is extra bad because we cook with very little salt. It tasted great but the salt kept bothering me.
But…when I put it in a sandwich with hops bread it was much easier to ignore!
Remember to look at the rest.
- secondary school entrance/placement exams
- other names for eggplant: aubergine, melongene and baigan
- Remember, Iftar is the meal to break the fast.
Yes, this was during Ramadan.
Yes, I wrote Common Entrance while fasting.
Yes, a lot of my colleagues weren’t because the all morning exam was too stressful.
For me, it was much less stressful than having to eat and worry about my exam at 10 years old.
Edited: Because the recipe link changed. I should *save* the recipe.
you need a footnote for hops bread

My mom makes a great eggplant too. Maybe I should make a website for her recipes. Wait, you salted the eggplant? My mom usually doesn´t. But I know that if you do, its supposed to remove any bitter juice. But you then have to wash the salt away which does not sound like what you did?

I *oversalted*
I did wash it away after but…you see…we don’t eat with much salt so too much is … well a lot :-)
Yes! Make a site for her recipes. I like trying new/different recipes.
