Can you get opium from those poppies? Happy-terd could use some to cure his crop in.: p

This morning one of the prettiest rabbits I've seen around here was trying to figure out how to get into the garden. He (or she?) was a speckled light brown. It ran off when I began to water the garden.

It didn't work.
It wasn't 'bad,' but it wasn't 'great!' I was hoping for great.

I tried to create an eggplant/cheese casserole and blew it. I added green peppers, spring onions, and diced Italian plum tomatoes. For herbage, fresh from the garden basil, oregano, parsley, and fennel tops. Fresh garlic, salt and pepper... I layered in mozzarella, ricotta, and parmesan cheeses and baked it. Looked very pretty, but only tasted so-so. Bummer...

I am sorry. I cook it like this.
I slice the eggplants 1 inch thick. I put them with some salt under a weight in a bowl for a couple of hours so they loose the bitterness. I dry them with a towel.
I grill them on a non stick pan.

I make a tomato sauce with pelati, garlic and onion. Slow cook untill smooth.

I build the casserole with one layer of egg plant, a couple of spoons of sauce, break few leaves of basil, mozzarella. Sprinkle of parmesan. And again and again. On top generous with parmesan.

Bake at 180°C (not critical) till browned.

Some time I avoid mozzarella and put just more parmesan.

It is a salutary version of melanzane alla parmigiana, where the eggplant slices are breaded and fried.

Thanks, Beppe. I'll try this next week. It's got to be better that what I made!
