    My grandmother was from Naples. She made it in slices. I just picked up eggplant at the Farmer's market and was thinking about this recipe. I used to make it with my father. It has been at least 20 years. I'll make this starting tomorrow. Love your accent. I miss my grandparents. Thank you for bringing a bit of my heritage back for me.

    One of my dad's favorites.
    When I found out he was buying it from a Italian deli for $30 a jar, I started making it for him for about $3 for a 32oz jar.

    You're a charming man, a wonderful teacher, and a pleasure to watch. If you treat your family as wonderfully as you treat your viewers, you are all truly blessed. 💖
    I haven't even tried any of your recipes yet. I'm sure they're great but it's the process that has me watching the preparation of dishes I don't even care for and will never make. May you enjoy life for many more years.

    Something very interesting: eggplants tend to be bitter sometimes, so it is always better to choose male eggplants that have less seeds and are then less bitter. Yes, there are male and female eggplants fruits. How to recognize them? Easy, looks at the bottom part of the fruit: there is an "indentation there. If it is long it is a female eggplant, if it is round, like a bellybutton, then it is a male. And for all these recipes the male fruit is much better.

      That's not really true.... I always buy the younger much smaller eggplant and I never find them to have large seeds.

    • @ancimargarita2763
      @ancimargarita2763 4 роки тому +4

      @@michpet72 it is not a question of big or small seeds, it is the amount that changes what we are talking about. And if you buy young small male eggplants you will find less seeds than in the young females eggplants; so next time pay attention and you will see! Good day!!!

    Sweet Chef Pasquale😍
    You are a gift to You Tube🥰
    I am blessed to be married to an Italian, (Pizzuto).
    I’ve never seen this recipe. I love egg plant. Been cooking for 60 some yrs and recently learned about the way to choose egg plants with less seeds.
    Egg plants are male and female. You can do the research on-line.
    Males have less seeds, the bottom is round and shallow.
    Female bottom is deep and shaped like a dash.
    I cannot guarantee 100% of the time, but it’s a place to start🥰🥰🥰
    Both my husband and I use it as a rule.
    Nothing like great Italian food made at HOME😋😋😋😋😋
    You’re a great advertisement for the pleasure it brings to people’s lives.
    God Bless🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

    Hello Pasquale! Great recipe! I love eggplant and this recipe looks interesting. I prepare a similar dish but instead of removing the liquid from the eggplant, I leave it with salt for a day, then rinse it, and boil it with 1/3 white vinegar, and 2/3 water until it's tender. Then I put it in jars with oil, spices, chopped onion and garlic.

    GREAT JOB.............you brought me back many years , when I was a kid, and would watch my mother make this eggplant specialty.... she use to make around 50 jars of this stuff........and of course ,with had to trade some of them with the neighbors ,to see who made the best....Also... it's reminded me of when my mother would prepare and Jar the wild mushroom that my father use to go out in the woods to pick........I can still see my father dumping all the mushroom on the good dinning room table....and watching all the bugs and spiders running away...needless so say..that didn't make my mother too happy.......was that a wild sight..........OH.........lets not forget making the wine down the cellar.....GOD BLESS ITALIAN FOOD

    I really like eggplant, if you can find them, i suggest eggplant from sicily, they are a little smaller, but have a thinner skin if you want to keep it on the eggplant, plus they have fewer seeds with less bitterness. The ones from italy and california are larger, have a thicker skin and more seeds which causes a more bitter flavor. I think Orsara can vouch for that info. The biggest problem i run into in my area is they do not know how to cook eggplant. They place them in an oil that is to low in temperature and they get soggy right away, especially when breaded, yours look great Orsara, very nice recipe, God bless you and your family, and your food site show, may it continue to prosper sir.

      How are you going to get eggplant from sicily when most people do not live in sicily. And the other thing is, Sicilians do not grow food like they used to. A few years their supermarkets were low on food and other supplies cos the petrol was so expensive to bring food to their island.
      Some vegetables are easy to grow and Sicily has mount Etna, which has volcanic rock. Volcanic rock is rich in minerals and very good to grown vegetables in.

    Good Morning Pasquale. As you requested, this is how I make my eggplant under oil. I peel and slice eggplant into pieces the size of my index finger. Add salt and let render water for a couple of hours. Squeeze out water and put into pot of boiling vinegar for two boils. Then, drain into colander lined with white cloth. Cool. Then hang for 12 hours in cloth. To prepare: add sliced celery, chopped garlic, oregano, sliced hot pepper, salt and pepper. Add generous amount of olive oil and store in refrigerator under olive oil for as long as it takes to use up. Doesn't take too long in my family. Maria from Long Beach Island.
