Purple Eggs
Jenn made another new recipe last night. She found a recipe from Giada De Laurentiis in the Everyday Italian cookbook that I gave her for Christmas called eggplant rollatini. Basically it is a long strip of eggplant rolled up with different cheeses in the middle with marinara sauce poured over top. I have to admit that it was not my favorite meal but Jenn really enjoyed it. Basically it is an eggplant parmesan deconstructed and put back together without frying. I think the frying is my favorite part of eggplant parmesan and the flavors of this dish just didn't do it for me. I blame Giada and not my wife though because she followed the recipe to the letter. Damn you Giada!
Here is a link to the recipe and if you are a die hard eggplant person this may be the missing link from your cookbooks. I wouldn't want someone not to try this either just because I didn't like it also. I like all of the ingredients, I just didn't like them this time.
Tonight is Past Primivera which is also a recipe by Giada that we have tried before. This time we are going to go light on the pepper because the recipe asks for way to much.
