Melanzane alla Scapece 🍆🇮🇹 Everyone talks about Zucchine alla Scapece, but have you tried it with eggplant? This is one of those simple Southern Italian dishes that never disappoints. It’s dangerously good with crusty bread, and somehow it’s even better the next day!
Do you prefer eggplant or zucchini? Let me know! 👇
Ingredients:
2 pounds eggplant, cut into cubes
2 shots white wine vinegar
1 shot extra virgin olive oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
fresh mint, chopped
fresh basil, chopped
Salt and pepper, to taste
Frying oil (sunflower or olive oil)
Instructions:
1. Cut the eggplant into bite-sized cubes.
2. Fry in hot oil until golden brown and tender, working in batches to avoid overcrowding.
3. Transfer to paper towels to drain.
4. In a jar, combine the olive oil, white wine vinegar, garlic, mint, basil, salt, and pepper. Shake well.
5. Layer the fried eggplant in a serving dish and drizzle with the dressing.

Now I can make something different with eggplant 🍆 instead of Parm. 😂 Thanks Hon❤
Yum! This looks awesome! Are you familiar with the difference between male and female eggplants? Female can be harder to find but worth the search. They are sweeter. They don’t really have the same bitterness or green color that’s visible when you cut them. It’s been a game changer for me after I learned about them and how to find them. 🙂
