Eggplant parmesan - with Italian striped eggplant.

[JLinza]

We went to the farms in Pueblo yesterday. Stopped in to Musso's and found some Italian striped eggplant.
I knew what I had to do...

Had to make eggplant parmesan, so I started a batch of homemade sauce.

Sliced the eggplant about 1/2 in thick.

My youngest son (8) helped with dredging the eggplant with flour, egg and panko breadcrumbs.
Oil in the pan and fried em up, 3 min on one side, 2 min on the other.

The Mrs's helped fry the eggplant and whipped up a salad with some other stuff we got from the farms.

This came out phenomenal, I'll be using that kind of eggplant from now on.
Incredibly tender and not mushy at all.

Got 3 - 32oz jars of sauce for the freezer too.

Penn says he has a new favorite dinner, lol.

Hope everyone had a great Sunday.

Looks fantastic! I did an eggplant dish on the smoker a couple weeks ago that was a fail. Super tough and chewy.

YUM!!!

One of my favorite dishes, I hate making it, though. Between the breading and frying, it looks like a bomb went off in my kitchen afterward. LOL

Won't be long and my eggplant will be ready to pick. This is at the top of the list...

Nice looking eggplant Parmesan.

We love eggplant Parmesan, we just don't like cooking in the oil. Makes a heck of a mess!
