Enjoy extra meaty Eggplant Parmesan without the gluten by using leftover short ribs and nut-based "bread" crumbs.
Ingredients
- 1 eggplant
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ cup rice flour
- 2 eggs, whipped
- 1½–2 cups gluten-free nut-based "bread" crumbs
- 2–3 ounces vegetable oil
- 4–6 ounces Fresh to Market Marinara Pasta Sauce
- 4–6 ounces braised short ribs (leftover), shredded
- 2–3 ounces shredded Parmesan
- 4–6 ounces shredded mozzarella
Preparation
Slice eggplant into ¾-inch rings. Season each side with salt and let rest for 20 minutes to draw out excess moisture. Pat dry with a paper towel, then dredge in rice flour, dip in egg, and coat in nut crumbs.
Heat oven to 400°F.
Heat a skillet to medium heat and add the vegetable oil. Sauté each breaded eggplant until golden brown on both sides. Transfer to a paper towel to remove excess oil, then place on a lined baking sheet.
Top each piece with marinara, shredded short ribs, more marinara, Parmesan, and mozzarella cheese. Place in oven and bake for 7–10 minutes, until cheese is golden brown.
