Eggplant parmigiana is one of the most iconic dishes in Italian cuisine, and it deserves to be made properly. With a homemade tomato sauce built from fresh tomatoes, fresh basil and dried herbs, eggplant slices pre-cooked in the oven to eliminate excess moisture, and a generous three-cheese layering of parmesan, pecorino romano and mozzarella di Bufala. This is a dish that requires a bit of organization but zero complicated technique. Just patience and respect for the ingredients. Perfect for a relaxed dinner party, a Sunday family meal, a vegetarian dish that impresses everyone or any occasion where you want to bring Italy to the table without buying a plane ticket.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

What sets this eggplant parmigiana apart from an ordinary version is the fresh tomato sauce. Red onion and garlic softened in olive oil, fresh tomatoes in cubes, tomato paste, fresh chopped basil, bay leaf, white wine and dried herbs. Simmered for 15 minutes then blended smooth for a concentrated, silky texture that clings perfectly to every layer of eggplant. And the cheese trio: parmesan and pecorino romano mixed together for a salty, umami layer at every level, and hand-torn mozzarella di Bufala for those pools of creamy, melting richness that come out of the oven in golden bubbles. Layer it up, 35 to 40 minutes at 400\u00b0F and your whole house smells like Italy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
