Cooking method

  • My next reunion with my beloved Italy was not in vain, adding to the treasury of Italian recipes. Eggplants with parmesan cook quickly and effortlessly, while the tasters do not immediately understand what the dish is made of, it is tender and incredibly tasty!
  • Cut the eggplants lengthwise into slices about 5 mm wide, season with salt and leave for 1 hour to release the bitterness. Then squeeze and fry each slice in olive oil on both sides.
  • Peel the tomatoes and cut into cubes, transfer to a frying pan or stewpan, salt, pepper, fry with chopped basil leaves (preferably green) without adding any fat over high heat for about 15 minutes, stirring often.

  • Then pass through a mill or grind with a blender to a sauce state.
  • Grease the bottom of the heat-resistant form (it is most convenient to use a narrow and long one, I took a form for bread with a non-stick coating) grease with half of the tomato sauce.

Note

Now a little history. This time the voyage was to Venice and its environs. Tired after an 8-hour walk in Venice, we returned to the small town of Mestre (where we stopped during the trip). We simply didn’t have the strength to go somewhere far away for dinner, and we drove to the nearest pizzeria, which turned out to be a small family restaurant. The audience was mostly local, but the waitresses, to our great surprise, greeted us with a purely Russian greeting. After talking, we learned that the girls emigrated from Russia to Italy and have been working in this pizzeria for more than 9 years, they are absolutely happy and adore their owner, an elderly Neapolitan. We asked for all the most delicious (well, of course). Parmigiana di melanzane made an indelible impression on all of us! I began to ask first, then beg, then demand to share the recipe. When the poor girls realized that I would not leave behind, they called the owner. I thought that the fortress had collapsed, but it was not there. Explaining mixed in the English-Italian dialect (yes, yes, and this can be invented when sooo nnnada), we agreed that if we come to them for dinner tomorrow, he will let me into the kitchen and personally prepare a dish in my presence, my just remember everything (of course, I wrote it down).
In general, I share with you a recipe begged in an unequal struggle. Enjoy cooking!
