I decided to plant eggplant in my garden this year. It has taken off and has forced me to make dishes using eggplant. I had RT barbecue an eggplant for dinner one night (I sliced it up first). It was delicious. I made my eggplant patties and eggplant Parmesan.I have been using my homemade spaghetti sauce (I have tons of tomatoes). Nothing like a meal made with fresh ingredients from your garden!
I looked over many recipes for Eggplant Parmesan. Many of the recipes called for breading the eggplant and frying it. I wanted to try something a little different. I decided to grill the eggplant (using the George Foreman grill). I brushed the slices with oil (olive or sunflower) and grilled them. Placed them in the bottom of a greased 9x13 dish, poured homemade spaghetti sauce and topped it off with some Parmesan cheese. (I even went a little crazy and tossed some shredded mozzarella on it for kicks)
This has been my go to dinner. It's quick and easy and, eggplant is quite nutritious. I happened to look up the nutritional benefits of eggplant and was quite surprised.
Here's to Eggplant! And, Eggplant Parmesan!
Delicious!
