Time: two or three minutes to prepare-much longer to cook
Poke some holes in the eggplant with a fork and microwave it for a few
minutes (this is to speed up the cooking process, not to completely mush up
the eggplant.) Slice the eggplant lengthwise and cut slits in the meat in a
diamond pattern. Spoon tomato sauce onto the eggplant halves, making sure
some gets into the slits. sprinkle herbs, garlic and pepper on to taste.
Place cheese slices sparingly on the sauce and aprinkle with parmesan
cheese.
Now choose your cooking method.-Microwave covered, bake in a hot oven
(longest method) or broil (trickiest method. until the eggplant is soft
enough, the sauce is hot and the cheese melted (and bowned in the broiler)
Serve rithe in the skin and people can either eat it all or scoop it out of
the skin.
Note: You can also do this dish with sliced eggplant that you spray with
olive oil spray, bake in the oven or broil until semi-soft, coat with
sauce, cheese, herbs etc. and bake for a while in a hot oven until bubbly
and nice.
