Eggplant Tarts Make a Great Tuscan Starter Dish

October 13, 2017 by Mary 12 Comments

Franco's eggplant tart.

                                                                                                                                               Franco’s dish at the cooking class at Tuscookany.

Hello again. 

I am trying to be back after my husband’s passing in June. It is so very hard. Three things are helping – cooking and Tuscany, plus of course, ALL of my close friends.

I decided to move to Tuscany, San Fabiano, near Arezzo, in particular, to be in a different place all together and to be with dear friends. I will be here for nearly 3 months to test it out.

I am renting a Count’s home on their vineyard, overlooking a small lake. I’m hoping that a new view may give me a new outlook on my life going forward. It is very hard when you’ve had the same partner you’ve loved for literally 2/3’s of your life.

My friends here in Tuscany encouraged me to do it, helped to set it up and have been so incredibly warm and welcoming and what they say in Italian about me and the passing of Steve to others, I can’t hear (just yet) so I don’t cry as much.

I am going to take Italian language classes. I started with 2 lessons while still in New York with a lovely young man, Giancarlo. I know the days of the week, counting, some key phases and a few other things. It’s really very little, but it’s a start.

All of this was put into place during my last trip to Tuscany in late July, after Zachary’s wedding in Poland. And during that last trip, I had the most fortunate opportunity to cook with Franco and Paolo at Tuscookany.

Tuscookany is a most marvelous place, lined with lavender, overlooking three mountain ranges high on an mountain itself, where you can stay and learn to cook Italian classics, like pizza, tiramisu, gnocchi and some brilliantly revised dishes like Franco’s Eggplant Parmigiano, revisited, that I will share with you here. He calls it Eggplant Pudding. I prefer to call it Eggplant Tarts – I think this name is more appropriate for the sophistication of this dish.

Franco Palandria plating the main dish.Paola plating and serving at Tuskcookany.Franco and his partner, Paola (they said they are not married but nearly, as they have a mortgage together) run the amazing cooking school. If you recall, when we all visited Tuscany last year for Bianca’s wedding, Cristina had given me this book that I had talked to you about where I made the most marvelous pasta bean soup. Well, Franco was one of the authors of that cookbook!!

In this recent class, we cooked from about 3 pm until 6:30 or 7, then had time to freshen up or have a glass of wine and enjoy the view (me) and eat the dinner we all made starting at 8 and lasting until 11 or so with wine flowing throughout and the after-dinner drinks – oh my word – so many of them!! And of course I had to sample a few and arrived home to Tiziana very drunk. She was sweet and said I was “just a bit tipsy.”

This eggplant dish is not difficult to make at all, a real surprise to serve your guests, light, flavorful and so, so delicious. But, it does take time. However you can make the tarts and the sauce the day before and warm both up in the microwave, assemble, and serve, so that makes it super easy.

I have taken numerous cooking classes but only Franco’s and another one I’ll tell you about later, in Spain, really taught me new tricks and methods. Franco is quite knowledgeable and also down to earth. He teaches you things you can easily use as a home cook to pump up your skills. You can put his techniques to use right away, as I made these just as soon as I got home in August.

For instance, if your tomato sauce is a bit too acidic, instead of adding sugar, add a tiny bit of baking soda, watch it bubble, just like in chemistry class, and voila! The acidity will be gone through and through, not just in your mouth but in your tummy too!

Another great tip from Chef Franco – leave hard eggplants out with your fruit for 2 days to soften and ripen and they will be much more flavorful.

My version of this dish!

Franco and cooking school dinner at Tuskcookary.Here are the recipes:

EGGPLANT TARTS – adapted from Chef Franco Palandra – serves 12

3 large eggplants
3 eggs
8 large basil leaves, chopped
Mint leaves from 4 stems, chopped
1 3/4oz. of capers, drained and finely chopped
3 anchovy fillets, patted dry of oil and chopped
1 clove of garlic, finely minced
Olive oil in spray format
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
Mozzarella cheese or Buffalo Mozzarella cheese, sliced in ¼” thick slices while cold.
Tomato sauce – recipe follows

 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Wash and dry the eggplants. Pierce the eggplants in several places with a fork, place on a parchment paper-lined, rimmed baking sheet and roast for 45 – 55 minutes. When the eggplants are soft and the skin looks wrinkled, remove from the oven and let them cool down.

Making eggplant tarts.Cut each eggplant in half, lengthwise, and scrape the insides out, leaving the skin intact as much as you can. Chop the inside membranes of the eggplants and place in a fine mesh colander to drain. Squeeze as much liquid out of the eggplant membrane as you can, before adding the rest of the ingredients below.

Combine the capers, anchovies, garlic, basil and mint and add to the drained eggplant. Lightly beat the eggs separately and add to the eggplant mixture along with salt and pepper to taste. Combine everything in the mixture thoroughly.

Eggplant tarts ready to go into the oven.

The Eggplant Tarts before going into the oven.

Spray the insides of the cups of a 12 cup muffin pan with olive oil spray. Line each cup with some skin from the eggplant, so that the cooked purple side will be on the outside when the cup is turned over. Fill the eggplant skinned lined cups with the eggplant mixture and place the muffin tray on a rimmed baking sheet and bake the eggplant tarts for 20 – 27 minutes in a 350 degree F oven. The tarts should be firm and not wet looking when done.

Allow the tarts to cool slightly, then invert the muffin tin pan on a large flat cutting board. Tarts should be served warm and they can be easily microwaved to a warm temperature before serving.

TOMATO SAUCE – serves 12

2 lbs. of whole plum tomatoes, washed, cored and chopped
1 small onion, chopped
2 cloves of garlic, chopped
5 Tbs. olive oil
1 bunch of fresh basil
Salt
Pepper

Warm the oil in a stainless steel or enameled Le Creuset pot. Add the onions and garlic, cover and cook on low heat to sweat and sweeten the onions, for 12 – 15 minutes, stirring often. Add the chopped tomatoes and simmer for 45 – 60 minutes, until the tomatoes are soft and lovely. Season with salt and fresh ground pepper to taste.

Pass the mixture through a fine sieve or food mill to remove all skin and seeds.

If the sauce is too sour, add ¼ tsp. baking soda.

You can make this sauce ahead of time, refrigerate and warm in the microwave to serve.

TO PLATE EACH DISH:

Slice the mozzarella cheese in ¼” thick slices while still cold, then cover with plastic wrap and leave to attain room temperature and more flavor.

Cover the bottom of each small serving plate with a thin layer of warm tomato sauce. Cut each slice of mozzarella into quarter pieces to open up the serving circle a bit and place in the center of your pool of tomato sauce. Or alternatively, grate the buffalo mozzarella in a circle in the center of the tomato sauce.  Place a warm eggplant tart on top of the cheese. Garnish the plate with 2 – 3 basil leaves and serve with a smile and LOVE!

Your guests will LOVE you for this!!

Our spring box is awesome!! Last week to order.

March 27, 2016 by Mary 10 Comments

First of all, Happy Easter! May you be blessed with new beginnings, all good things, sunshine on rainy days and flowers of all colors!!

I want to tell you that for our spring MARY’s secret ingredients box, we are waiting for a very special item so we are set to ship on April 5th. This is a remarkable box.Sauteed chicken with sugar snap peas.

To give you an idea, with the products in this box, you can make a meal like this, in just 20 minutes. Seriously. And it’s seriously delicious!

Dijon Mayonaise sauce on steamed sugar snap peas.

This incredible product sauces up any vegetable – takes it from “every day” to a company meal!

You know, food is the new medicine. Actually food and herbs are the old medicine, new again, in vogue again. I got sick with a flu this past week on Tuesday night and got rid of it in a day by drinking green and turmeric tea, very hot, with lots of honey, vegetable broth soup with lots of vegetables, bowls of fresh fruit and lots of sleep – did the trick! I was back on my feet on Thursday. But I think that’s also because I eat healthy all the time so I don’t often get as sick in the first place and can rebound quicker. And I take a lot of Vitamin D-3.

My husband was sick with the flu first, but for three whole days! He does not take the vitamin D-3.

Back to the box. This box is so incredible, if you haven’t ordered it, you must. You really must because it is so good and it is doing so much good. First off, it’s got incredible things – the box is worth over $56.00! And with the code 25OFF, you can buy the box for only $25.50. And all of the products in the box, as always, are all natural, good for you, kind of things. They all enable you to turn ordinary meals into extraordinary!

So not only are you getting a “steal”, you‘ll be doing a great deal because this box, as every one of our boxes gives back to Feed The Children, and through 100 Cups A Day, fights for clean water and through another partner, gives back to cancer research. It’s a total win-win all around!

Little yellow cups on a log at the water's edge.

Here’s a peak at these beautiful little handmade cups – great for sake or tea – reminding you of the importance of clean water for everyone.

Heck, you should buy two boxes – one for you and one as a gift. It makes a great hostess gift.

So order one today. You only have this week left before they ship. Remember, I email you custom recipes using each ingredient after you receive the box so you never have to worry about how to use a certain product. You’ll be able to make great meals like this super easily.

joseph joseph serrated knifeAnd if you buy a year’s subscription, only $108.00, you’re also eligible for the golden ticket item, this amazing 4” really sharp serrated knife that has this cool elevated rest, so the blade never has to touch the counter.

Wishing you the best day! Celebrate spring and cook with LOVE!
