My daughter told me that she made an eggplant lasagna and she didn't like it. I told her it is because you have not prepared the best recipe that this lady makes! Excellent. Thanks for sharing!
Looks delicious! Salting the eggplant removes the water, but also the bitterness. Best to lay them on paper towel while salting so the towels absorb the bitter water.
I tried it yesterday and it. was. AMAZING! I honestly did not expect it to be so good. And your pasta sauce recipe with carrots is a game changer! I couldn’t stop eating it right out of the pan! Everyone loved it! Finally, vegetarian comfort food!
By the way, the main reason (as I have been told) for salting the eggplant is so to remove the bitter after taste that you can get with cooked eggplant. Also, after salting, do not leave it lying flat, by place it in a colander place over a bowl to catch the liquid, and with this amount of eggplant the amount of liquid that is drained from the eggplant can be quite a lot.
@@larrygrimes824 why would you rinse of the salt with water, the sole purpose of salting is removing the water from it, ure just fucking it up again lol 🤣.
@@timo8032 The salt pulls the bitterness out of the egg plant and it accumulates on the surface. I rinse it off with water then pat it dry before using. You are welcome to prepare this recipe any way you chose, this is just the process I’ve had 100% success with. By the way, you choice of language in your inappropriate for a cooking video comment.
I made your eggplant lasagna this evening for my adult son. He loved it! So glad I found your channel and website. I love Mediterranean food, whether Greek, Italian, or Middle-Eastern. To me, the Mediterranean foods are the most delicious. I'm half Lebanese, and I guess it's just in my genes!
I don't think gluten is good for anyone, it's just some peoples bodies rebel more than others. I think gluten is responsible for a lot of obesity. bread is just a cheap filler.

This turned out amazing, my friends loved it! I left out the egg, added extra ricotta. I also used fresh spinach. Next time I'll use frozen because I could of used more in there. I added some extra cheese on top, asiago,because I love it! The demonstration and drawing the moisture out of the eggplant has helped me become a better cook! I appreciate it, awesome recipe!!😊
I Am Making this recipe tomorrow! I was just offered Eggplants yesterday and I said no..."don't know how to make it" but now I do. Your Mother taught you well. 🧑🏿🍳🤜🏿🤛🏿😎🧑🏿🍳
Kudos to the culinary virtuoso behind this eggplant lasagna masterpiece! Your dish not only looks incredibly tempting but also has me believing in the magic of healthy indulgence. You've taken the humble eggplant to new heights, creating a symphony of flavors and textures that is as nutritious as it is delicious. Thank you for sharing this scrumptious recipe on your channel and inspiring us to savor wholesome and mouthwatering meals! 😋
the liquid that comes out of the eggplant after you salt it is bitter--try tasting it--and by drawing it out and dabbing it off, it makes the eggplant have less bitter flavors. Just fyi.
Some "connoisseurs" claim it's no longer necessary to salt and let eggplant sweat because new breeds of the plant are no longer bitter. I don't bet on that and always salt it, let sweat and rinse off.
I just made something like this just earlier this week before watching this vid. My oven is down so. Steamed the eggplant (3)., red bell (3) peppers & 10 oz. portabella mushrooms. No spinach. I used the no boil lasagna noodles & cooked it in a slow cooker on high for 1.5hrs. Only used half the peppers. Really good. Thanks for the vid. I like the spinach Idea.
Omg this lasagna was so good I had to share it with my mother and sister. I followed the recipe to the T! The only thing I did different was broil it for 5 minutes for that crispy cheese crust I love. Very delicious!
@@wanda01141 OMG LOL, I don't have notifications on for TH-cam and here I am 3 years later. Verdict: delicious! It's actually a staple recipe now even though I'm no longer keto.
I’ve had it at restaurants, but I’ve never bought it myself to experiment with, perfect opportunity!!! 👍🏽👍🏽 Only thing missing, cutting into it and plating! 🤷🏽♀️
This nice lady really captures my attention with being so thorough and instructive. She demonstrates how easy it is. Very pleasent and well thought out video. It looks delicious!
Made this. Actually combined it with the minced beef recipe. Marinara sauce, aubergine layer, cheese and greens, then bolognaise, aubergines, green layer, marinara sauce, grated cheese. Superlicious!👍👌
Oh dear woman this looks delicious!! I was eating eggplant that made for the first time. I had cut up a tomato and already had side spinach. I mixed them on the fork and was inspired to look this up. I love it. Great work
Super recipe - I loved the use of eggplant as a replacement to the lasagne sheets. Makes it much lighter. Interesting how you used spinach in the cheese filling adding more nutrition. I guess I could use bechamel sauce instead of ricotta cheese. Great channel 👍
Yum! Definitely going to try this with some plant-based cheese and Just Egg as I have a family history of Cancer and need to avoid all the estrogen in dairy and Choline in eggs--thanks for posting
Beautiful presentation. Confident but soothing voice, love the way you talk through it all and treat us all like your friends ( and young and pretty like you 😂). Could have cut it up to show us mouth watering watchers what it looks like inside. No doubt delicious, going to make it soon🙏👍
This looks super yummy I love eggplant parmesan but I have never tried it as a lasagna until now and thanks to you. I will shout you out in my video once I make it vegan style. Thank you for this healthy delicious content video
My momma taught me to salt the 🍆 not only because it releases moisture but also because it takes away the bitterness of the veggie. ☺️❤️ (I wouldn’t skip it;). Dish looks delicious and can’t wait to try!!
I made it exactly to the recipe, but added Fennel Pollen. It's my favorite spice for just about anything that is tomato-y, and earthy vegetables. Thank you for a terrific recipe. I'm on to check out your sauce right now.
I love eggplant. Thanks for this recipe, I have been looking for a simple eggplant lasagne recipe for a while now and glad I saw your video. Will try this out for sure👍👍
Awesome job! In some schools of thought, they call it eggplant Parmesan. You added Ricotta and not fried but it looked unbelievable. My brother taught me to use full-fat, small-curd cottage cheese because sometimes Ricotta has the taste and texture of drywall compound or plaster.
Yr recipe caught my attention because I've been wanting to cook with eggplant for a while & yr explanation was straightforward. Well it turned out well! It would also be nice if you could include metric measurements when explaining quantities. Thanks.
If you skip the step of pre-salting the slices of eggplant, you will have a much more bitter flavor in your dish. The main reason of pre-salting eggplant is getting rid of that bitter flavor. Strongly advise to do it.
TY Suzy! Since I got the eggplant from the pantry where I live I'm gonna use it to make this recipe.. I gotten spaghetti sauce and I'm gonna use it for this recipe Stay safe!
This looks Wonderfull!I've made this before, but I never put herbs in the cheese's, sounds really good! making it tonight but adding ground beef to the sauce, I'm keto so meat is ok. have you ever made it with ground beef? glad I found your post!
I bumped in to this channel and loving it just by watching. Ordered a few products from the site. Unfortunately the Olive oils sold out. Can’t wait to make all those salads. It’s a big dilemma to me everyday what to eat, I am hoping these salads should help me😊. I don’t like regular cooking
This is the best eggplant 🍆 lasagna everyone just loved this i will make this again many times over .Its a award winning recipe I have changed it up abit and made this with Greek Feta cheese and its was the best a must to try it with Feta cheese then the other cheese 😋

It's 375⁰ for 15-20 minutes if anyone is wondering since she never said it

It is parmigiana but less work and calories since you’re not breading and frying the eggplant. Lovely recipe! 😊

Implication!? Bitter: harsh
That is the real reason you salt the eggplant and let it stand for 15-20 mins. or until it "sweats". To get the bitterness out.
Some "connoisseurs" claim it's no longer necessary to salt and let eggplant sweat because new breeds of the plant are no longer bitter. I don't bet on that and always salt it, let sweat and rinse off.
Add sugar
