African...that look fabulous..gonna do it...just gotta get me some eggplant. Thanks for the recipes. My mom loved my eggplant parmesan better than everything I made. I got the reciep from a guy in the Arthur Street cookbook, from Mike's Deli in New York.  I watched this guy kick Bobby Flay's a$$ in a throwdown.  It's like lasagna made from eggplant.  Pam  .☆´¯`•.¸¸. ི♥ྀ.

Aubergine= Eggplant in the U.S.

Very nice recipe Ahron- THANK YOU for posting this.

And - Pam...how about sharing that recipe you described? Sounds really good.

I wonder if you added a very light amount of smoke to the eggplant first...?

Mike's Deli Famous Eggplant Parmigiana - Dave Grecco 
Oil
2 large eggplants
All-purpose flour
4 eggs
Bread crumbs, add garlic and romano or parmesan, oregano, basil
1 quart marinara sauce
8 ounces sliced dry mozzarella
4 ounces grated Romano
Preheat oven to 350º and heat oil in a large pan, Dutch oven or deep-fryer.
Peel the eggplant and slice into 1/4-inch thick slices, a mandolin works well here. Coat each side of the eggplant with the flour.  In a separate bowl beat 4 eggs and dip the eggplant into the egg to coat both sides. Then take your bread crumbs and do the same to coat each side.
Once the oil is hot, put the eggplant in the hot oil and fry until golden brown. You can also use a deep-fryer and leave in for about 2 to 3 minutes.
Once all of the eggplant has been fried, get a rectangular baking pan and start the layering by adding the marinara sauce to the bottom of the pan, dip eggplant in marinara sauce before layering, then layer the eggplant, more sauce, fresh mozzarella, Romano cheese, and continue to layer until you have reached the top of the pan. Top off with sauce, mozzarella, and grated Romano. Place the eggplant into the oven and cook for 20 to 25 minutes.
I wasn't into smoking yet. But it could be done.
Enjoy. Pam  .☆´¯`•.¸¸. ི♥ྀ.
