I present today this list of 12 recipes with Italian eggplant. Being of Italian-American heritage eggplant is a common vegetable in my kitchen. Eggplant rollatini and eggplant casserole are my two favorite ways to make eggplant. Unfortunately, those recipes are not included in this list of recipes with Italian eggplant.
Those recipes are found exclusively in my cookbook. I promise you they are worth the investment in the cookbook. Not to mention, you will also be getting 78 of my other best Italian recipes.
I make eggplant differently depending on the time of year. I am not sure entirely why, especially since eggplant is carried in the grocery store year-round. However, I tend to cook the eggplant for the season. For example, in the spring and summer time I like to grilled the eggplant fresh from my garden or add it to a quick sauté for some nutrition.
In the fall and winter I tend to make heavier dishes with the eggplant. I will bread and fry the eggplant in oil for a comforting appetizer or use the fried eggplant in a parmigiana, rollatini, or fired casserole. I will also add the eggplant to pasta dishes to round out the recipes.
I guess my recipe selection throughout the year is based in tradition. My grandparents had a huge garden and would eat eggplant a lot during the growing season. My parents had a smaller garden and would instead buy eggplant year-round in the grocery store. So you could say my style is inherited from my family.
