GRANDMA'S ITALIAN EGGPLANT PARMIGIANA
This heirloom Italian family recipe came stateside with my grandmother when she immigrated from Italy. Growing up in a house that had Italian sauce being made every Sunday, this eggplant was always a favorite. Using good quality ingredients is critical for this recipe. It is very time consuming and laborious. It would be a shame to invest all of this time and effort with inferior ingredients only to be let down when you eat it later.

Steps:
- Lay eggplant slices on top of paper towels and sprinkle with sea salt to draw out moisture. Cover with additional paper towels. Let sit, 8 hours to overnight.
- Place flour into a 1-gallon plastic zip-top bag. Sprinkle salt and pepper into the flour and shake the bag to mix. Place 6 eggplant slices into the bag, seal, and shake to coat.
- Beat eggs and water together using a fork in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
- Heat 2 inches of oil over medium-high heat in a 10-inch cast iron skillet. Line baking sheets with paper towels to drain eggplants after frying.
- Shake excess flour from eggplant slices and place into egg mixture, turning to ensure both sides are coated. Allow excess egg mixture to drip off before placing slices into the hot oil. Fry until slightly golden, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to the paper towel-lined baking sheets. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon Pecorino Romano cheese. Repeat process until all eggplant slices are fried. Let cool slightly, about 5 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Pour a small amount of tomato sauce into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking pan to cover. Place 1/3 of the eggplant slices over sauce, slightly overlapping them. Sprinkle 1/3 of the remaining Pecorino-Romano cheese and Parmesan cheese evenly over the slices. Cover with a light layer of sauce. Sprinkle 1/3 of the mozzarella cheese over sauce. Repeat for a total of 3 layers.
- Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly, about 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes to set.

ITALIAN BAKED EGGPLANT WITH PARMESAN (PARMIGIANA DI MELANZANE)
Eggplant parmigiana or eggplant Parmesan is one of the most popular and iconic vegetarian Italian dishes and this recipe is straight from Italy. Use ripe eggplant without seeds and salt them for 1 hour to remove the bitterness.

Steps:
- Place a single layer of eggplant slices in a colander sitting on a plate and sprinkle with coarse salt. Cover with a second layer and sprinkle with salt. Repeat with remaining eggplant. Place a plate on top and add a weight to put pressure on the eggplant slices. Let stand at room temperature for about 1 hour.
- Rinse eggplant slices under running cold water to wash off all the salt. Pat dry on all sides with paper towels.
- Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Dredge eggplant slices in flour on both sides and add to the hot oil, working in batches. Deep fry eggplant until golden, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat; cook garlic and onion until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add tomato puree, 4 basil leaves, and salt. Cook, stirring often, until sauce starts to thicken, about 20 minutes. Remove sauce from heat. Discard garlic and stir in remaining 4 leaves basil.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Spread a layer of tomato sauce over the bottom of a baking dish. Cover with a single layer of eggplant slices. Top with more sauce, mozzarella slices, and Parmesan cheese. Continue making layers, a total of 3 to 5, finishing with tomato sauce and grated Parmesan cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven until heated through and bubbling, 30 to 40 minutes. Remove from oven and let stand for 20 minutes before serving.

PARMESAN EGGPLANT (ORIGINAL ITALIAN RECIPE)
In Venezuela, we have a huge Italian population. In fact, we are the 2nd country that consumes the most pasta after Italy...talk about influence:P. I happened to find this from another old magazine...but this time it was an Italian recipe. I remember my sister's godparents were Italian and they made something very similar to this...and their antipastos were delicious! I will surely make this someday. Feel free to substitute the eggplant if you're not an eggplant lover! Prep. and cooking times are approximate.

Steps:
- Wash the eggplants very well, cut in 1/2 cm. thick slices (about 0.2 inches) -- very thin.
- Fry in the oil on each side and remove as much excess oil as you can. Keep aside.
- Cut the garlic and the onion in small cubes and fry in a skillet with a little bit of oil until golden.
- Now to this same skillet where you've just fried the garlic and onion, add the tomatoes *cut in cubes* and fry until it softens and a thick sauce forms.
- In a pan, place a layer of eggplants followed by one of parmesan cheese, tomato sauce, and another one of mozarella until you finish all your ingredients.
- The last layer should be of parmesan cheese.
- You can put it in the oven at a low temperature (around 350ºF) for around 15-20 minutes to allow the cheese to melt or you can serve it as you wish.
- Note: if you don't want to go through all the trouble of making the tomato sauce, you can just buy canned tomato sauce. It's quicker and easier!
