Gluten Free Eggplant Lasagna
By: Mary of Healthy Gourmet Kitchen
2 Eggplants
15 oz Ricotta cheese
8 oz fresh mozzarella
8 oz freshly grated parmesan cheese
2 - 4 tablespoons Healthy Gourmet Kitchen kale pesto or basil pesto
1 Egg
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 Red onion
1 cup Shitake Mushrooms
2 cups Healthy Gourmet Kitchen Marinara Sauce
To get the most tender, flavorful eggplant try to cook it the same day it was picked or as soon as possible. To pick a fresh eggplant, press on the eggplant gently, it should spring back, if it remains indented it's a bit old. You probably won't find old eggplant at a farmers market but if you buy from the grocery store you'll want to check for freshness. If you don't have time to cook the eggplant right away, store in your basement on a shelf, not in the refrigerator. 50 degrees is ideal, the kitchen counter is a bit too warm and the refrigerator is a bit too cold.
Wash eggplants thoroughly. Trim off blossom end and stem being careful of thorns on the stem.
Preheat oven to 350.
Peel eggplants leaving strips of skin in place.
Thinly slice (about 1/4 inch) into rounds.
Place eggplant rounds on cookie sheet, brush both sides with extra virgin olive oil.
Place cookie sheets in oven. Set timer for 11 minutes. After 11 minutes flip the eggplant slices and rotate the cookie sheets (sheet on bottom shelf will go on top, sheet on top shelf will go on bottom shelf). Bake for an additional 11 minutes.
While eggplant is cooking:
Peel and dice onion. Wash and slice mushrooms. Heat olive oil in saute pan, add onion and mushrooms and saute for 3 - 5 minutes, add marinara sauce and simmer while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
beat egg with fork. Combine beaten egg with ricotta, grated parmesan, and pesto.
Grate or slice (thinly) fresh mozzarella. If grated mix half the fresh mozzarella into the cheese mixture, reserve the remainder for the top of the lasagna. If sliced you will lay the sliced on top of the cheese mixture.
When eggplant has finished cooking (22 minutes total), remove from oven.
In 9 x 11 baking pan, layer the bottom of the pan with the marinara sauce/onion/mushroom mixture, then top with a layer of eggplant. Dollop the cheese mixture on top. If using sliced mozzarella, add a few slices of mozzarella reserving most of the mozzarella for the top of the lasagna. Add a layer of marinara sauce/onion/mushroom sauce then add another layer of eggplant pressing down on the eggplant to distribute the cheese. Dollop the cheese mixture on top and spread out using the back of a spoon. Add a layer of marinara sauce/onion/mushroom sauce and if you have any eggplant left continue with the layers until the eggplant is gone finishing with a layer of marinara /onion/mushroom sauce and sliced mozzarella on top.
Bake in 350 oven for 40 - 50 minutes or until cheese is bubbly and turning brown.
Serve with more grated parmesan to top.
