...well..dinner was quite the production...we needed to use up all of those eggplants the Man bought...haha...so what better way than Vegan Eggplant Parmesan...
...got them all scrubbed and sliced...
...and in a big bowl of salty water...
...so much eggplant...it barely fits in my biggest bowl...
...so that was early in the afternoon...I weighted them down with a fully teapot of water so they'd stay submerged...
...dried them well...
...got my dredging station set up...
...oddly...flour first...
...and then vegan egg...
...shallow fry them in a 1/4 inch or so of oil...
...until nice and golden...
...and drain on paper towels...
...meanwhile...I grated a whole block of Violife parmesan in my repaired Emmie...
...and whatever we don't use I'll store already grated in the freezer...
...the Man made the delicious sauce...
...and we started layering things up...
...there's also some vegan mozzarella in there...
...and we managed to cram all of that eggplant into two casseroles...
...covered with foil...
...and baked those for about an hour or so...
...and served on our trays with a salad and noodles and crusty whole wheat bread...
...and the movie was the Man's choice...and he chose a new to us limited series...
Why Didn't they ask Evans?...which I'm sure we saw years ago as we never missed an episode of Miss Marple...but it was 'adapted' differently...I do remember it...but some of the relationships between characters were different...and some of the dialogue...this version is much more true to the book...
...and this is the rather gruesome cover of the first edition of that book...
...what have you been watching lately?...
~Have a lovely weekend!
MMMM, that eggplant looks wonderful! We've been watching a series called Colony. It's one of those "after the aliens have taken over" stories. Interesting and well acted. Not my favorite but interesting enough to keep watching. Love, K
