Eggplant parmigiana - original Italian recipe

[lionking1926]

At 1:14 it seems there is Allah in arabi written on the eggplant,in a pot on the right most eggplant

[icxcrex]

There are probably as many versions of melanzane parmigiana as there are "mommas" in Italia. If you want to bread them, go for it (it adds calories and makes it an oily mess). Adding buffalo milk cheese is not an American invention, it is quite Italian. The eggplant is fried in olive oil. I have had luck dredging them in flour, spraying with olive oil, and baking at 400 for 5 minutes. In most of Italian cooking, "less is more."

Questo piatto è sublime, a casa a momenti non rimane nemmeno la teglia! :)

[Ossi836]

Recipe ingredients include onion and garlic. Did anyone see where they come in or did I miss it? Thanks in advance!

[yellowsaffron]

@Ossi836 They're in the tomato sauce

[jdubbs530]

in America we bread the eggplant, do you ever do that in Italy?

[yellowsaffron]

@jdubbs530 Yes, somewhere in Italy they do that!

[vicdibella]

adding melted cheese is an american addition. fine if you like it. just don`t call it original.

[BLeSSeDoGkUSH420]

damn this chick talked so fast i couldnt even understand a word she was saying

[clock99times]

@nnejdee Yes this is true, the final product cooked a served, definitely a necessity!

[fannysmack]

I want to try this, but what kind of cheese is used for melting??????

[yellowsaffron]

@fannysmack A type of kneaded-paste cheese, like caciocavallo, or mozzarella

[miamiherald75]

@fannysmack you can use mozzarella it works well.

[hmmhowstrange]

Eggplants, or aubergines as I call them, are so beautiful :3

Their dark purple sheen! Oh most majestic of all vegetables!

[oshinsr]

YUM!!!!

[sataraid]

Uh this reminds me of a bad Kung Fu movie.

[julianaishere]

my mom adds slices of hard boiled eggs between a layer it is soooooo good

[sarahedwards2]

You could slice 3/4 of a package of mozzarella cheese.

[carletto1981a]

THE REAL PARMIGGIANA RECEPIE:

When you fry the aubergine you need to coat them into some flour and then in eggs!

And then you fry them!!

Dont just use cheese,but mozzarella!!Fior di latte,no buffalo otherwise will be to watery!

This is a dish that originally come from Napoli,and is exactly where I come from.

Try it this way and you will see that the egg plants will melt in your mouth with an explosion of taste!!!

Cel mai bun videoclip gastronomic. reteta facuta "ca la carte" super

[h4l03rul3z]

Easiest way to see if someone is a medagone or a true Italian, do they call it sauce or gravy :)

[19jsgm89]

delicious, thank you thank you... I hated eggplant but after the drained and everything, this dish is exquisite...

[cloudchaser07]

nice recipe but id skip the draining of the egg plant, id rather it has some water in it , this way it dos not absorb as much oil when fried.

[yellowsaffron]

@cloudchaser07 Dehydrating the eggplants doesn't mean that they will absorb less oil... on the contrary they will taste better because in this way you remove their bitterness. If you want them to absorb less oil just dry them with paper very well after frying. Otherwise try to cook them in a oven

[dvinb12345]

@cloudchaser07 Actually, it's exactly the opposite. The more water it has, the more oil it'll absorb.

[cloudchaser07]

@dvinb12345 Thank you for the tip i should try it just as it was done here and skip the salt water technique.

[dvinb12345]

I've made this a few times, and one thing baffles me. How does anyone leave the skin on the eggplant on? It's ruined all of my dishes, it's impossible to eat. It's more or less rubber in your food.

[tchuoiu]

Oh, nice tip to drain the water out of the eggplant! my mom does this recipe frequently, but the eggplant is always full of water and I HATE it, also she cooks it instead of frying, of course the eggplants will taste better when fried, tough its not so healthy.

[paranel1339]

My most favorite dish.

[spinebreakerchick]

this is typically french. its meant to be made with sauce tomate.

[pattigirl17]

Sooo, what ever happened to olive oil to fry?!?!

[dvinb12345]

@pattigirl17 You never use olive oil to fry o.o

[oneminutewithprod]

@dvinb12345 You can use it. It's healthy and tasty, it's just kind of expensive...

[bonjourbeaute]

Just put freaking trans subtitles, the voice is annoying and distracts me from watching her cook.

[Nadia2015]

eggplant parmasan is sooooooooo gooooooooood, fry the egg plants, tastes way better then oven cooking them, the eggplatns taste better really really mushy, so def bake them for a while, you dont want them hard

and def peel the edges off

and speghetti sauce works FINEE, so easy its kinda like lasagna, sauce eggplant cheese, sauce eggplant sauce cheese

[snowstormtea]

kosher salt?:)

[video1688]

Another great recipe that my wife can cook. Thanks!

[cow360]

this is soo much better than lasagne

[z978ady]

No one has a recipe for baking this on top of thin sliced Italian bread in the oven, almost like a pizza.

[Thecurious58]

I love her!

[lepetitelush]

I want to eat this so badly!

[Celie3678]

[pinkytoot]

[nnejdee]

Looks so good, but I would like to see you serve it. Thx!

[corrosive33]

Quit using imperial!!! Metric is better.

[AndrewFaulds]

@corrosive33 Yes. In italy of course they are actually using Metric, but Imperial is in the dub as americans are the primary audience :(

[Rememborance]

@corrosive33 Does it really matter right now?

[WalkAwayCat]

I'll try this today :)

Thanks for sharing :D
