How to Make Eggplant Parmesan

Ingredients

Fresh Eggplant
Mozzarella Cheese
Grated Parmigiano-Reggiano Cheese

Tomato Sauce
Frying Oil

Instructions

1. Clean the eggplant, taking the skin off with a little knife or a potato peeler. Slice the eggplant about half an inch thick long ways.


2. Place the slices of eggplant into a colander and layer them, with a little bit of salt between each layer. Place a plate on top and press down, to squeeze the water from the eggplant. Let them sit for an hour and a half to two hours.


3. Bread the eggplant with flour and put a few slices at a time into the oil, frying them to a nice golden color on both sides. Remove the eggplant from the oil with a tong and place it into a paper towel to absorb all the excess oil. 


4. Take 4 to 5 slices of eggplant, 4 or 5 large spoons of tomato sauce, a couple ounces of fresh Mozzarella and some Parmesan cheese. Wet the bottom of the Pyrex with tomato sauce and begin layering the eggplant, tomato sauce and cheese.


5. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and cook the eggplant parmesan for 20-25 minutes.

Davide Megna: Hello, I am Davide Megna form Amici Miei Ristorante in Rockville Maryland and today I am going to show you how to make Eggplant Parmesan from peeling and slicing the eggplant, frying it and then putting it together and then serving it. To make an Eggplant Parmesan, the tools you need are a small knife to peel your eggplant, a bigger knife to slice your eggplant, a pan with oil for frying and then you are also going to need a tray with some paper towel to dry your eggplant. You are going to need a pyrex to bake your eggplant and then a plate for serving it. The ingredients you are going to need for the Eggplant Parmesan are fresh eggplants, you are going to need some fresh Mozzarella Cheese, some Parmesan Regina, some Parmesan cheese, some tomato sauce. Also you are going to need some frying oil to fry your eggplant. Couple of safety tips, while you are frying if you have children around you, keep them as far away as possible and use the back burners of your stove to make it even safer. So before we begin our recipe for today, let me tell you a little bit about myself. I was formally trained at the Culinary School Institute of Turin in Italy, where I worked until the age of 22 and then I moved to United States and worked in Washington DC for about nine years and three-and-a-half years ago I opened my own restaurant here in Rockville and that's where we are going to make our Eggplant Parmesan today.
