Slowlycatchymonkey Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 When you said a custard tart was an important thing in Portugal I will admit to a quiet scoff but I take that back now I've read this.

Pedro Posted March 25, 2023 Author Share Posted March 25, 2023 Again, melanzane alla parmigiana. You grill aubergine, nothing except heat and a tiny bit of olive oil to moisten them. Then assemble the whole thing in layers similar to a moussaka or a lasagna except no pasta or meat. Tomato sauce (cooked, not from a jar!) / aubergine / tomato sauce + basil + mozzarella + parmesan, and repeat with variations of no mozzarella or no parmesan in a layer, mid layer: Top layer has to have parmesan, for the crust. This might be more delicious than lasagna, and goes better with toasted bits of bread since there's no pasta in it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I love this but I am the only one in my family that does which is disappointing so I don’t make it. With aubergine I even tried the old trick of salt and batter on the veg round the table Teppanyaki table. I even tried peeling it first but they just genuinely don’t like aubergine. Philistines.

Try making a lasagna, except with thinly chopped shrooms and aubergine instead of minced meat in the sauce. I love proper aubergines Italian style, grilled and then left with chunks of garlic, salt and olive oil + balsamic vinegar and parsley. You then eat it cold or in sandwiches with cheese, it's proper! But they won't like it. Are they allergic to tasty? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they won't like it. Are they allergic to tasty? Expand I completely agree, it’s just plain wrong! I have made lasagne with it. More than one iteration. I’ve said nothing so they’re no aware of what they don’t like, left long gaps before having another go but no, they have an aubergine radar that says NO Some people are sensitive to alkaloids and aubergine has a few so thats all I can think is skewing things. Solanine is a thing apparently. I wouldn’t have believed it if I hadn’t tried to sneak so many delicious variations past them They’re no tomato lover either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
