In Laura's kitchen in Napoli.
She did not have a nonstick pan, so we used parchment paper.
read to go in the oven.
Beautiful finished product. eggplant only on top because Laura did not have enough eggplant for the sides too. This one held together when cut.
Now back to the US.
Lining the pan.
Ready for the oven.
Finished product, looks good so far.
The zombie effect.
Plated with heirloom tomato and red onion salad, beet goat cheese "panini" with pesto and pinenut garnish.
Dessert: limoncello zabaione with mango, peach, strawberry, blueberry fruit salad.
Nice eggplants, not the usual dark purple ones. Garlic in the background.
Sliced precisely with bob's "Magic Knife" from last century, adjustable thickness.
Lining the bundt pan with the baked eggplant slices. Anelletti ready and willing to jump in with a little help. Notice chunks of fontina.
Second perspective on the assembly process.
so I could not figure out which of these three shots to keep!
Each one is a bit different, yet each one has something special.
and the last one.
Fortunately bob was able to select one of the three serving shots. Served with salmon and peeled asparagus. Lemon on the side for the fish.
This time a purchased carrot cake cupcake with French vanilla icecream and fresh strawberries for dessert.
