If you love the eggplant and quick recipes, this dish is for you: boats eggplant in the pan. A vegetarian recipe, delicious but also light, clearly Sicilian inspiration. I love the eggplant and, since they are summer vegetables, I try to be holy patience and prepare often: Fries (Gozo, Pasta alla Norma is a piece of heart), parmigiana, with meatballs, but also baked with tomato and Greek feta and in a thousand other ways (you find here in the special on all my RECIPES WITH EGGPLANT).
But when the heat is really overwhelming to turn on the oven, I resort to this ingenious recipe in which the eggplants are browned and cooked stewed with Pachino cherry tomatoes PGI, some’ of melted cheese (little, otherwise the lightness where it is?) and a lovely scent of oregano. As you can see in the VIDEO RECIPE boats of eggplant in the pan that you find on my You Tube Channel (subscribe!), it is a dish that you prepare very quickly: 15 minutes preparation and cooking 20-30 depending on the size of the eggplant.
I would suggest use eggplants long striated, seedless and very sweet. As for the cheese, when it comes to something that is tasty and wires I always have recourse to the silane cheese Dop Dop or Provolone Val Padana, but you can be anything you like. In addition to basil, do not forget oregano, that gives the eggplant in the pan a perfume and a taste that is unparalleled. At this point, have a look at all my SICILIAN RECIPES and I wish you happy holidays and good appetite!
