BAKED EGGPLANT WITH PESTO, PARMESAN, AND MOZZARELLA
This tasty eggplant dish is the perfect side to a roasted chicken and a green salad with a lemon vinaigrette. You can either pre-grill the slices or broil them before putting the dish in the oven but either way, make sure the slices are partially cooked before baking. You may want to have a little extra wine/chicken broth mixture handy if the sauce gets too dry.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Salt the eggplant slices and lay on a paper towel for 20 minutes to extract any bitter flavors.
- Pat the slices dry.
- Grill the slices (I use a dry grill pan on the stove top but you could also broil) until soft but not all the way done.
- Heat a skillet and add 2 TBS olive oil, Saute onion, garlic, and bellpepper until soft.
- Salt and pepper liberally.
- Stir in the wine and chicken broth and reduce to about 1/2 Cup.
- Stir in pesto and tomato paste and remove from the heat.
- In a casserole dish sprinkle the remaining 1 TBS olive oil and lay one layer of eggplant slices on top.
- Spread 1/3 of the sauce on the eggplant and top with 1/3 of the cheese mixture. Repeat layers.
- Top with the remaining cheese.
- Bake for 30-45 minutes, or until cheese is browning and bubbly and eggplant slices are soft.

Steps:
- For the pesto: In a blender or food processor, pulse the basil, pine nuts, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper until finely chopped. With the machine running, gradually add the oil until the mixture is smooth and thick. Add the cheese and pulse until just incorporated. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Set aside.
- For the pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and reserve about 1 cup of the pasta water. Put the pasta into a large serving bowl and add 1/2 cup of the Parmesan. Toss until coated.
- In a large, nonstick skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the eggplant and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Cook, stirring frequently, until the eggplant turns golden brown, about 8 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and cool slightly. Add the pesto and toss until the eggplant is coated.
- Add the eggplant mixture to the serving bowl with the pasta and toss until all of the ingredients are coated. Thin out the sauce with a little pasta water, if needed. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese and serve.
- Cook's Note: To toast the pine nuts, arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake in a preheated 350 degree F oven until lightly toasted, about 5 to 6 minutes. Cool completely before using.
EGGPLANT PESTO
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 F. Prepare the eggplant by poking a few holes in each with a knife and placing them whole in a small roasting plan to just fit them. In the same roasting pan, take the garlic cloves and place them in a small square of aluminum foil and drizzle a touch of olive oil on them. Wrap the cloves up in the foil and place in the roasting pan alongside the eggplant. Place in the oven and roast for around 45 minutes to an hour, or until the eggplant's skin is wrinkled and the insides are soft. Once the eggplant is done, remove it from the oven and unwrap the garlic from the foil. Peel the garlic from its skins and place the soft cloves in your food processor. Once the eggplant has cooled enough to touch, peel the skin off (if should peel off easily), chop it roughly and place in the food processor too. Add the parsley, toasted pine nuts, lemon juice, olive oil, Parmesan and salt and pepper and blend the ingredients together until almost smooth. Stop the food pro and add in the cumin and more salt and pepper as needed. Serve on top or under a good protein like salmon or halibut or alongside home made pita chips. I decided to serve it with pan roasted salmon and parsley oil, which really enhanced the flavor of the eggplant.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Combine the flour, salt, and pepper. Coat each eggplant slice with the seasoned flour.
- In a large skillet heat 1/4 cup of the olive oil over medium-high heat and fry the eggplant slices until golden brown on both sides, adding more oil as needed. Remove the eggplant from the skillet and blot lightly on paper towels.
- Cut the focaccia in 1/2 horizontally and spread the Black Olive Pesto on the inside of both halves. Arrange the eggplant slices on 1 half of the focaccia. Layer the tomatoes and roasted peppers on top and sprinkle with cheese. Cover with the other half of the focaccia, pressing firmly to join.
- Cut the sandwich in 2 pieces. Brush each side of the focaccia with olive oil. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and grill both sides until golden and crispy. Place the sandwiches on a baking sheet and place in the oven for 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and gooey.
- Cut each sandwich into 3 and serve warm.
- In a food processor puree the olives, Parmesan, olive oil, and garlic until smooth.
- Can be stored in the refrigerator for several weeks in an air tight container.
CHEESY EGGPLANT (AUBERGINE) PESTO STACKS
I found this recipe on the internet somewhere, but have tweaked it a bit. Eggplant is one of my favorite vegetables, but I haven't found all that many recipes where it is allowed to take center stage; it is usually buried under so many other ingredients and flavors. This recipe is also a nice way to use up left-over pesto. Preparation time is mainly standing time for the eggplant as it drains its bitter juices.

Steps:
- Pre-heat oven at 375°F, and oil a shallow baking pan.

- Arrange in one layer on paper towels.
- Sprinkle both sides of slices evenly with salt and cover with another layer of paper towels.
- Let eggplant stand 30 minutes.
- Rinse salt off, and pat dry with paper toweling.
- Arrange 4 eggplant slices in one layer in pan and spread each slice evenly with 1 teaspoon pesto.
- Sprinkle 2 tablespoons mozzarella evenly over pesto on each slice.
- Continue to layer remaining eggplant slices, pesto, and mozzarella in the same way.
- Sprinkle 1 Tablespoon parmesan or romano evenly over each stack and bake in middle of oven until eggplant is tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
EGGPLANT, TOMATO, AND PESTO STACK
Steps:
- In a food processor, pulse 1/2 cup walnuts until finely chopped. Add 2 cups basil and garlic, and pulse while slowly adding 1/2 cup oil, scraping down sides as needed until smooth, about 1 minute. Add Parmesan; season with salt and black pepper; process until pesto is well combined. Heat oven to 400°F. Brush eggplant slices with remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons oil and sprinkle with sea salt; roast on a baking sheet, turning once, until tender and golden, 20 minutes. Top each with 1 tablespoon pesto. Alternately layer 2 eggplant slices, 2 tomato slices and 1 slice mozzarella. (Refrigerate any remaining pesto for another use.) Divide balsamic vinegar, remaining 2 tablespoons walnuts and basil leaves among stacks.
