Eggplant Parmesan

Eggplant parmesan is a delightfully delicious vegetarian dish. Not only is great tasting, but it is easy to make. And who doesn't love Italian food? I mean, really, red sauce, cheese and fried eggplant - how can you go wrong? This is, after all, one of my favorite dishes of all time. I hope that you enjoy it as much as I do.

Nice - I saw some huge eggplants last weekend, but hadn't a thought what to do with them. Now I do.

Yeah. I've been convinced lately that eggplants are getting bigger, which has me slightly worried. I think they are up to something.

They want to take over where the Giant Killer Tomatoes left off.....

Do you say that they are trying to dominate the world??!!

I make always this meal with a subtle difference:
I leave the eggplant slices overnight on the colander, plenty of salt.
The next day, I rub the salt off, and boil the slices for merely 5 mintes in water with  1/2 cup white vinegar .
It takes off all that bitter taste of eggplants.
then I leave them to cool down.
After that, the recipe is equal to yours.

Two smaller eggplants might be better than one large one, as I would think that they would be more tender. I'm getting ready to cook up a couple in the next couple of days, so I'll know then...

Yummy! It's my favorite dish ever, great Instructable!
Next time i'll do the "eggplants Parmesan" or "parmiggiana di melanzane" as we say here in Italy, I'll take some pictures of the process. My family recipe is slightly different maybe i'll find the time to make an Instructable too.

That looks awesome!  Why didn't you cook like that when you lived home?   Well, at least I inspired you.  It looks even better than mine.  I really like the individual slices!  I will have to make that tonight!  :-)
