Sausage Eggplant Bake

July 10, 2012 at 12:09

This is my first year growing eggplants and they are such a great addition to our garden! These black beauties are so perfectly delicious and I couldn’t wait to create a recipe just for them. Eggplant Parmesean used to be a favorite dish of mine before I became primal and so this recipe is of course inspired by the traditional Italian meal that we all know so well.

I used my homemade garden cherry tomato sauce and added sweet Italian sausage and viola! Sadly, I never got seconds of the masterpiece because my Dad and my husband devoured them. But hey, that’s how you know it’s good, right?

Ingredients

3-4 cups of Tomato Sauce
2 medium sized Eggplants
1 lb. Sweet Italian Sausage
2 cups of Mozzarella cheese
2-3 tbs. of Olive Oil

Instructions

Slice both eggplants into 1/4 inch slices
Place in a colander in the sink and sprinkle all sides of the the eggplant with salt. Let the eggplant sit and drain for about 30 minutes
While the eggplant is draining, cook the sausage in a frying pan, drain and set aside
Preheat oven to 350
Rinse salt off of the eggplant and pat dry to remove excess moisture (don’t go too crazy here – you just don’t want it dripping wet)
Brush olive oil on both sides of each of the eggplant slices with a pastry brush
Place eggplant slices on a baking tray, place in the oven and cook for about 15 minutes
Begin layering the ingredients in a lasagna pan in the following order: sauce, eggplant, sausage, sauce, cheese, eggplant, sauce and finish with cheese.
Cook, uncovered in the oven for 30 minutes

I made this for a group of ladies and they loved it! I was looking for a good gluten-free recipe for my celiac friends and this was a big hit! I will definitely make it again. :)
