INGREDIENTS:

1 Eggplant, sliced 2 inches or so thick
3-4 or more Eggs
Flour (or Breadcrumbs)
Oil for frying (about 1 inch deep in saute pan)
Spaghetti Sauce
Grated Mozzarella Cheese

DIRECTIONS:

Slice the Eggplant, and sprinkle a bit of Salt over both sides to prevent browning. Dredge in Flour, then Eggs, then Flour again. 



 

 

If you want, you can use Breadcrumbs in lieu of Flour. Plate Eggplant and slowly get your Oil hot for frying, but not TOO hot, maybe on medium flame or so. You don't want the Oil to splatter when frying, if so, lower heat immediately. Have some paper towels handy. Fry on both sides till golden brown, carefully remove and drain on paper towels.

 

 


 

Pour a bit of Spaghetti sauce on bottom of baking pan, put Eggplant on top. Then top with a bit more sauce and some Cheese. 



Bake 350*F until Cheese is melted, about 10-15 minutes or so. Plate and serve. Goes good with a side of Pasta in Alfredo Sauce. You can refrigerate fried slices for a couple of days, but do not freeze fried or baked slices.

PORTOBELLO MUSHROOM RECIPE

INGREDIENTS:
1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
2 Tablespoons Balsamic Vinegar
Dash of Salt and Pepper
1 Garlic Clove, diced
1 Portobello Mushroom


DIRECTIONS:
 
Cut off a small piece of the bottom of the stem, discard.Gently rinse the Mushroom, and dry on paper towels. Dice up Garlic. Gently remove the stem from the Mushroom cap. Slice the stem up.

 
 

Now saute the Portobello Mushroom, diced stem and Garlic with Olive Oil. Score the top of the cap with a knife (cutting a few thin lines on top) This allows the sauce to penetrate into the Mushroom.
Flip the Mushroom over so both sides are cooked.You want to get the Mushroom rather soft and a darker brown. Saute for a few min. 

 

Add the Balsamic Vinegar and put flame to low. Simmer for a few minutes.The sauce may be getting a bit thin. Just add a dash of water to it. Plate and serve.
