sooooo i'm ending my strike against cooking - it all started with that damn sauteed mushroom and onion salad!
being with my mom has made taking the time to create meals WAY more enjoyable for me. tonight we made the most BOMB-ASS eggplant you could ever eat in your whole life and it worked with my food plan. check it -
slice an eggplant into coins. you don't need to skin it. in fact, don't.
have a bowl of egg whites and a bowl of grated parm cheese
dip the eggplant into the egg and then dredge through the cheese
using a non-stick pan - it has to be non-stick or your eggplant will suck ass - fry up your coins until the cheese browns and gets crispy. it works best on a low heat so the eggplant has time to cook. another tip - let the coins settle for a bit in the pan before moving and flipping so the cheese has time to mold to the coin.
we tried 3 different dipping sauces and they all were totally delish. marinara sauce has a traditional eggplant parm taste. ketchup (sugar-free for us food nutt cases) makes it taste like french fries or some totally fattening-ass fried food you'd get at a bar. and blue cheese or ranch just makes it taste fucking awesome. woot!
give it a go...it's worth the effort. and it's really filling...i kinda feel like i might vomit. good times.
XO happy eating
very awesome, I will definitely try instead of breading the eggplant. thanks!
