SICILIAN STUFFED EGGPLANT: MELANZANE AMMUTTUNATE



Sicilian Stuffed Eggplant: Melanzane Ammuttunate image

Simple stuffed eggplant, Sicilian style, simmered in tomato sauce - comfort food in a bowl!

Provided by Michele Becci

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 cloves garlic, minced
About 6 ounces mozzarella, chopped into small cubes
½ cup grated Parmigiano cheese
A few sprigs of mint
Extra virgin olive oil
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 small/medium eggplants
Flour
Olive oil
½ medium onion, chopped
1 (28 ounce) can chopped tomatoes
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
A few leaves of basil

Steps:

  • Make the stuffing: Combine the garlic, mozzarella, Parmigiano together in a medium bowl. Chop a few leaves of mint and add to the mixture. Drizzle with a few tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil until the mixture is moist. Mix together. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
  • Wash the eggplants and trim off the end near the stems. Cut the eggplants in half and place flesh side down on a work surface. Use a small knife to make numerous incisions in the skin. I usually make around 10 incisions all over the skin of each eggplant half - approximately 1 inch deep. Stuff each hole with the mixture (fingers work best here). Be sure to push deep into the incision so the stuffing does not come out. (You may have extra filling which can be reserved for another use.) Pour a bit of flour on a flat plate. Dip the flesh side of the eggplant in the flour to coat. Set the eggplant aside.
  • Prepare the sauce: Saute the onion in a few tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet or pan large enough to hold all the eggplant halves. When soft, add the chopped tomatoes and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper and a few leaves of basil. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook for about 15 minutes.
  • In a large frying pan, add a few tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the eggplant halves, flesh /flour side down, and fry until brown, about 5 minutes. Once brown, add the eggplant halves to the prepared sauce. When all the eggplant is added to the sauce, cover and allow to simmer over low heat until soft - about 25-20 minutes. (I like to turn the eggplants occasionally as they are cooking.) Once the eggplants are soft and tender, remove to a serving dish and spoon the sauce on top. Serve with plenty of Parmigiano and crusty bread for dipping. Buon appetito!

STUFFED SICILIAN EGGPLANT RECIPE BY TASTY



Stuffed Sicilian Eggplant Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: medium eggplants, pita, garlic, fresh parsley, fresh basil, parmesan cheese, olive oil, marinara sauce, italian bread crumbs, olive oil, shredded mozzarella cheese, marinara sauce, chicken stock, pinot grigio, salt, pepper

Provided by Anthony Ashmore

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 medium eggplants
2 pieces pita, or naan
5 cloves garlic
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped
2 tablespoons parmesan cheese
4 tablespoons olive oil
¼ cup marinara sauce
4 tablespoons italian bread crumbs
¼ cup olive oil
¼ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
4 tablespoons marinara sauce
2 tablespoons chicken stock
2 tablespoons pinot grigio
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper

Steps:

  • Cut each eggplant in half. Once halved, carefully hollow out each eggplant by slicing the interior flesh of the eggplant into medium-sized cubes.
  • Once cubed, use a spoon to gently remove each cube - then use the spoon to hollow out the remainder of the eggplant. (Tip: Ensure you hollow out the interior of each eggplant, without slicing off the top or bottom of the eggplant itself. You essentially want to make a boat out of your eggplant).
  • Place the removed flesh of the eggplant into a food processor. Then, add each ingredient into the food processor with the removed eggplant flesh.
  • Process all ingredients into a stuffing consistency, which generally requires about 5-8 medium/long pulses (make sure you still have texture: don't process into a paste).
  • Add 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil to a cast-iron skillet or frying span. Heat on medium and add the stuffing from the food processor to the pan.
  • Spoon the stuffing you've made in the food processor into the frying pan and saute on a medium-low flame for approximately 8-10 minutes. Once this is done cooking, allow to cool for 10 minutes.
  • Place your hollowed out eggplant onto a baking sheet that has been lightly greased with extra virgin olive oil. Brush the eggplant with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  • Once seasoned, spoon the finished stuffing into each eggplant, until full but not overflowing. Top each eggplant with shredded mozzarella and 2 tbsp of marinara sauce.
  • Next, add 2 heaping tablespoons of chicken stock and 2 heaping tbsp of Pinot Grigio to the base of the pan, underneath each eggplant.
  • Place into a 425 °F for 25-30 Minutes or until the eggplants have cooked down and develop a well-roasted skin.
  • When nearly finished, place the eggplants under a low broiler for 10 minutes, until golden-brown and bubbly.
  • Garnish with a little more fresh basil, parsley and grated Parmesan cheese and serve.
  • Enjoy!

Another recipe from my Woman's Day cookbook. No meat in this recipe -- it combines the chopped eggplant with golden raisins, pine nuts and parmesan cheese. Sounds delicious!

Provided by DailyInspiration

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 1h25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 eggplants (small to medium size - 1 1/2 lbs. each)
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup onion, finely chopped
1 tablespoon fresh garlic, minced
2/3 cup breadcrumbs (packaged, plain)
1/2 cup golden raisin
1/4 cup pine nuts (or slivered almonds)
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated
1/4 cup fresh parsley, minced
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Halve the eggplants lengthwise. Run a small sharp knife 1/2 inch in from the edges of the cut side of each eggplant. Scoop out the insides of the eggplants with a spoon and reserve, leaving 1/2 inch thick shells. Sprinkle 1 teaspoons salt into the eggplant shells and invert on paper towels while preparing the filling.
  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Make the filling: Coarsely chop the reserved eggplant. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, and chopped eggplant and cook, stirring often, for 5 minutes, or until the onion is softened. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the remaining ingredients with the remaining salt. Place the eggplant shells, cut side up, in a 13x9 inch baking dish. Mound the filling in each shell. Drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoons of oil. Pour water into the pan to a depth of 1/2 inch. Cover tightly with foil and bake for 40 minutes.
  • Remove foil and bake for 10-15 minutes more, or until the edges of the eggplant are tender and the bread crumbs are very lightly browned. Serve hot or at room temperature.
