I love grilled eggplant, makes a wonderful veggie sandwich, w/ balsamic roasted red onions, roasted peppers, provolone and grilled portabella mushrooms on a crusty roll....heaven...or grilled and stacked w/ a perfect tomato slice, gray salt and fresh mozzarella w/ a balsamic basil vinaigrette (use a sprig of rosemary as a skewer). I make extra when I grill eggplant and then I have some to mince finely w/ capers, grilled portabella and olive oil to top garlic rubbed toasted bread for bruschetta or I'll roll the grilled eggplant up w/ some ricotta and bake w/ (just a little) sauce and top it w/ mozzarella.... When the farm stand is overloaded, I'll just slice it and layer in a casserole w/ more tomatoes and fresh mozzarella, top w/ peppery olive oil, panko breadcrumbs (to sop up the juices), and a lot good grated cheese and black pepper....because panko really needs a heavy hand w/ seasoning...what an easy supper w/ some good crusty bread! I need to stay away from the farm stand, the fridge is full <G>. I made enough zucchini the other day to feed an army.... Cantaloupes were $1, and I finally did some on the grill...I have a dry rub w/ chili, lime & sea salt, mixed a pinch w/ honey and drizzled the grilled cantaloupe...WOW! Who knew?

JO-EL'S German Shepherds Eggplant cut into 1/2 inch round pieces, skin and all 3-4 eggs scrambled 4 C's seasoned breadcrumb Extra virgin Olive oil dip eggplant into eggs than into crumbs, put in already heated oil, Joan says not to hot, I have electric so I cooked mine on 4-5, than after 3 mintues, I poked them several time with the fork, per Joan to let out steam out, turn when brown and let cook until brown on other side. Joan says no paper towels because it's olive oil and believe it or not, it's not greasy. I did not add any salt or pepper since breadcrumbs are already seasoned. you can cook the fried green tomatoes the same put don't poke them. If I forgot something Joan will let you all know. ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2007.
