Eggplant Parmigiana

Ingredients:

Olive oil for frying
1 large eggplant
Flour for dredging
2 eggs, beaten
Bread crumbs for coating
2 and 1/2 cups pre-made tomato sauce
1 lb fresh mozzarella, sliced
1 and 1/2 cups freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese
6 leaves basil, shredded

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 375° F.

In a skillet over medium-high heat, warm about 1 inch of the olive oil.

Peel the eggplant, and cut lengthwise into 1/4 inch thick slices. Dredge in flour, and dip in the eggs, shaking off any excess egg. Coat with the bread crumbs, and lower into the hot olive oil. Fry until golden, about 2 minutes on each side. Remove from the olive oil, and set aside to drain on paper towels.

Cover the bottom of a baking dish with a layer of fried eggplant, and spread some tomato sauce on top. Scatter mozzarella slices on top of the sauce, and sprinkle with Parmigiano cheese and basil. Repeat the layering until all the ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of cheese and basil.

Bake in the oven for about 20 minutes, or until the cheese melts and is golden on top. Serves 4.

That's it!

20 medium shrimp, cooked, divided
2 tablespoons ketchup
4 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 teaspoon brandy
Salt and freshly ground pepper

Parsley for garnish

Directions:

Cut 12 of the shrimp into a fine dice, and reserve the remaining whole shrimp for garnish.

Place the diced shrimp in a bowl. Add the ketchup, mayonnaise and brandy, and season with salt and pepper. Fold the ingredients together until they are well combined. Lightly toast the slices of bread, and spoon the shrimp mixture onto each slice.

Garnish with the reserved whole shrimp and top each slice with the curly parsley. Serves 4.

That's it!

Only In Italy!

"Only In Italy" is a daily news column that translates and reports on funny but true news items from legitimate Italian news resources in Italy. Each story is slapped with our wild, often ironic, and sometimes rather opinionated comments. And now, for your reading pleasure, a sample of today's edition:

Doctor Smokes In Operating Room, Fined

Frosinone - May 28 - An ear, nose and throat specialist working at the hospital in Frosinone, was surprised by state inspectors for sanitary hygiene yesterday morning, smoking one of many cigarettes in the operating room, with tranquility.

The specialist was fined and had to pay 250 euros. The case caused a stir, above all, because of the fact that there should be maximum respect in the operating room for those who entrust their lives in the hands of doctors.

"Complimenti, testa di mingia!" Isn't this fantastic?

It has been scientifically proved that smoking and second-hand smoke can kill. Now Italians have to worry about their bodies being used as potential ashtrays.

"Disgraziati!" These doctors who put themselves through medical school by chasing chickens don't realize they are supposed to be role models for Italian society. They should be wearing gloves, masks... and hairnets at all times!

While we're at it, we'll throw in a few French maid outfits just to teach them a lesson!
