EGGPLANT EN ESPAÑOL RECIPE

Steps:

• Peel eggplant; cut crosswise into 1/2-inch slices. Combine egg and the water. Dip eggplant slices into egg mixture, then into flour, turning to coat.
• In a 10-inch skillet heat oil over medium-high. Add eggplant, half at a time, and cook 4 to 6 minutes or until golden, turning once. (If needed, add additional oil and reduce heat to medium if eggplant browns too quickly.) Drain on paper towels.
• Wipe skillet with paper towels. Arrange eggplant slices in skillet; sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Top with spaghetti sauce and mozzarella cheese. Cook, covered, over medium-low heat 5 to 7 minutes or until heated through. If desired, top with additional Parmesan cheese and basil.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large saucepan. Add the tomato, garlic and ginger and cook over moderate heat, stirring, for 3 minutes. Add the curry and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Stir in the eggplant. Add the stock and bring to a boil. Add a pinch each of salt and pepper, cover and simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the eggplant is tender, about 8 minutes.
• Using a slotted spoon, transfer the eggplant to a bowl. Boil the cooking liquid over high heat until reduced to 1/2 cup, about 3 minutes. Return the eggplant to the pan and reheat it. Season with salt and pepper and serve.
