69. Eggplants Parmesan: The Original Italian Recipe
Immagine

Eggplants parmesan is a typical recipe of Southern Italy, and is made of eggplants, mozzarella cheese or provola cheese, basil, tomato, and Parmesan cheese. There are several versions of eggplants parmesan, somebody fries the eggplants, somebody grills them, and somebody coats them into flour or egg before frying them. Anyway, this course is really delicious! It can be presented as a single course, accompanied by a nice piece of bread, or as a second course. Here I propose you the Neapolitan variant, with the strictly fried eggplants whose cooking will be finished in the oven, and therefore you will need long eggplants, to be layered in a baking tray with a bit of basil, the provola cheese, the tomato puree and the grated Parmesan cheese.
