Eggplant Parmagiana


Description:
Here's one of Mier and my favorite dishes at home. Usually I boil the eggplants but this time, I tried roasting them in the turbo broiler and they turned out just fine. :D

Ingredients:
5 eggplants
1/2 kilo of ground pork
3 cloves garlic
1 med onion
tomatoes
tomato sauce
salt
pepper
thyme
basil
2 packs tomato sauce
Parmesan cheese
grated cheese
Mozzarela or quick melt cheese

Directions:
Eggplant:
1. Place eggplants in turbo broiler and broil for 30 minutes at 150C.
2. Remove eggplant from turbo and remove skin.
3. Slice eggplants into strips depending on the size you want.

Meat Sauce:
1. Saute tomatoes til soft. Add garlic and onions.
2. Add meat. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle dried thyme and basil leaves. Cook meat til brown. Simmer for 10 minutes.
3. Add tomato sauce and let simmer for another 10 minutes.

Assembly:
1. Layer a baking dish with eggplant slices.
2. Add meat sauce.
3. Add grated cheese (I had some grated quezo de bola which I added)
4. Repeat eggplant and meat sauce
5. Top again with grated cheese, lots of parmesan and mozzarela.
6. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until cheeses melt on top.
7. Serve with bread.

  3. Maan, I don't think the eggplants will cook well enough if you just bake it. Most recipes I've checked says either to broil, fry or boil them. :D
