If you can't have glutten this is a great recipe for you. My Sicilian friend showed me how to make this. It's how his mother prepares it.
1 large eggplant or 2 medium eggplants
Pot of tomato sauce (homemade is best :) obviously )
250 grams of grated mozzarella
2 hard boiled eggs cubed
200 grams of prosciutto or ham diced
100 grams of mortadella diced (I don't like it, so I choose to omit this ingredient)
parmigian cheese
fresh basil shred into bits
salt and pepper
Preheat the oven to 350*-400*.
Slice the eggplant into thin slices and salt lightly.
In a pan, heat some olive oil and fry each piece of eggplant lightly. When the eggplant comes out of the pan, drain the excess oil on sheets of paper towel.
In an oven proof casserole dish, ladle a thin layer of sauce into the casserole. Lay down a layer of eggplant, cover with mozzarella, ricotta, basil, egg, the meats and a fresh grating of parmigian cheese. Season with salt and pepper and then cover with another layer of tomato sauce. Repeat the layering until you run out of all ingredients.
Finish by coating the top layer of eggplant with sauce and extra parmigian cheese.
Bake for 30 to 40 minutes until there is a lightly golden crust.
Let sit for 10 to 15 minutes. Cut and serve!
