LYDIA SCHIAVELLO

MELANZANE ALLA PARMIGINA

This is one my favorite things to serve and is perfect for entertaining friends and family. The sauce in this dish is everything. It gives the eggplant that beautifully rich tomato taste. It is great to eat on its own but I also love it as an inclusion on a mixed antipasto platter.  Bellissimo!

  • 3 eggplants

  • Salt flak30

  • 2-tablespoon extra-virgin oil

  • Fresh basil

  • Ground pepper

METHOD
