My wife makes fantastic eggplant parmesan but not in a while.

I’ll remind her how good it is the next time she asks me for a suggestion

One of my all-time favorites, and the recipe is just like Mom made it. Thanks!

Hmmmm. No salting, draining, rinsing, and drying of the eggplant slices to remove the bitterness and condense the eggplant flavor. Some may prefer it that way, but I go through the extra trouble.

Cold eggplant parmigiana sandwiches on crusty Italian bread--perfetto!

The salting and draining are a must for authentic Italian version. Real Italians do not use oragano.

Maybe it depends on the region. We used to use it, although not in eggplant parmigian as I remember it, it’s true.

WTF?

In OUR ITALIAN house we use LOTS of Oregano.

What is your source of info on that?

LOL,

My mom was an eggplant fanatic. While home on leave right before I left for Vietnam, she asked me one evening what I would like for supper. I told her a thick juicy hamburger.She made it and was so proud of her creation that I didn’t have the heart or nerve to express my shock & displeasure. Because right there between the burger & bun was a 1/2” slice of eggplant. I can honestly say that for 30 years I never touched an eggplant again until I started raising them in my garden.

And guess what?

They are still as tasteless as I remember them. LOL
