Ingredients

  • 8 oz. fresh mozzarella, sliced
  • 1 c panko bread crumbs
  • 2 c marinara sauce
  • ¼ c chopped fresh basil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 c freshly grated Parmesan cheese divided
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp pepper
  • 1 c all-purpose flour
  • 3 medium eggplants
  • 1 c Italian-style bread crumbs
  • 2 large Eggs

Instructions

Line paper towels onto a baking sheet.

Cut the eggplant into 1/4-inch pieces. Place them onto the prepared baking sheet and arrange them in a single layer. Season with salt and allow them to rest for at least 1 hour.

Prepare the oven and preheat it to 200 degrees C or 400 degrees F.

Apply cooking spray to the insides of two large baking sheets.

In a mixing bowl, add salt, flour, and pepper. Whisk everything until well incorporated.

In another mixing bowl, whisk in eggs until smooth. In another bowl, add garlic powder, panko bread crumbs, and Italian bread crumbs. Whisk to combine.

Coat each eggplant slice with the flour mixture, beaten eggs, and breadcrumb mixture. Remove any excess by shaking it. Put it onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat the process with the rest of the eggplant.

Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the eggplant slices.

Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and roast the eggplant for 10 minutes on each side.

Apply cooking spray to the inside of a 9×13-inch baking dish. Add 2 tbsp of marinara sauce and spread it evenly.

Add 1/2 of the eggplant slices into the prepared baking dish, then top them with the rest of the marinara sauce.

Add the mozzarella cheese on top, followed by 1/2 of the Parmesan cheese and 1/2 of the basil. Repeat the process with the rest of the ingredients until everything is arranged in layers. Bake for another 20 minutes.

Serve and enjoy!

Crispy Potato Roast

by Rebecca November 16, 2022
written by Rebecca

If you are having guests over, then you have got to surprise them with this Crispy Potato Roast! This is the perfect party food that everyone is going to love! Potatoes, butter, pancetta, and a lot more in one dish. Enjoy!

Ingredients:

10-12 russet potatoes, peeled

3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil

1 small onion or 4 shallots, peeled and sliced very thin

About 3 ounces pancetta, cubed

4-6 fresh thyme sprigs

Kosher salt

1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

3 tbsp butter, melted

Directions:

Prepare the oven and preheat it to 190 degrees C or 375 degrees F.

In a bowl, add the melted butter and oil. Stir until well incorporated.

Add a bit of the butter mixture into a 10-inch baking dish and spread it evenly to the sides and bottom.

Create crisscross slices out of the potatoes. Lay them into the prepared baking dish and arrange them in a single layer. Keep them intact. Place the onions in the middle of every 4 potato slices.

Sprinkle salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes on top, then brush the rest of the butter oil over the potatoes.

Cover the top with foil, then place it in the preheated oven and bake for about 30 minutes. Remove the foil cover and bake for another 1 hour.

Meanwhile, place a skillet on the stove and turn the heat to medium-high. Add the pancetta and cook for a few minutes until crispy. Transfer onto a clean plate lined with paper towels to drain oil.

Add the crispy pancetta and thyme sprigs all over the potatoes. Bake for 35 more minutes.

Remove the baking dish from the oven, then sprinkle a bit of kosher salt on top.

Serve with sour cream. Enjoy!

Notes:

I highly suggest slicing the potatoes thinly.

Leftovers should be kept in an airtight container, then put in the fridge. Reheat for a few minutes before serving again.

Although, I doubt that there will be leftovers because this Crispy Potato Roast is incredibly delicious that it will be gone in just minutes!

1 large onion, chopped

2 large potatoes or parsnips, diced

2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

¼ lb. bacon

4 sticks of celery, chopped

2 lbs. boneless beef chuck, chopped into bite-sized pieces

½ lb. cremini mushrooms, sliced (optional)

1 turnip, diced

3 oz. tomato paste

Kosher salt and black pepper

4 cloves garlic, minced

Chopped parsley

1 (12 oz) bottle of Guinness

3 sprigs thyme

1 bay leaf

3 large carrots, chopped

1 tbsp cornstarch, or as needed

4 c low sodium chicken broth

FOR THE CHEDDAR HERB DUMPLINGS:

3/4 c shredded Irish sharp cheddar

2/3 c milk

1/3 c shortening

1 ½ c self-rising flour

2 tbsp mixed fresh herbs such as parsley, chives, and thyme, chopped

1/2 tsp garlic powder

Directions:

Place a large oven-proof pot on the stove and turn the heat to medium. Add the bacon, then cook for a few minutes until crispy. Move onto a clean plate lined with paper towels to drain grease. Cut into small pieces.

Sprinkle salt and pepper over the steaks, then add them to the same pot. Cook for a few minutes until brown. Move them onto a clean plate as well.

In the same pot, add celery, carrots, and onion. Sauté the veggies for a few minutes until soft. Add the garlic and tomato paste, then sauté for a minute or until aromatic.

Stir in the Worcestershire sauce and Guinness. Make sure to scrape the bottom of the pot to get the browned bits. Simmer for a few minutes.

Put the steaks back into the pot together with bay leaf, chicken broth, and thyme. Stir to combine.

Turn the heat down to medium-low, then cover the pot with the lid. Simmer everything for about 1 1/2 hours.

Add the turnip and potatoes, then cook for 30 more minutes or until fork-tender. Remove and discard the thyme and bay leaf. You can add the mushrooms if you prefer. Cook them for another 10 minutes. Put the bacon back into the pot as well and stir to combine.

Prepare the oven and preheat it to 175 degrees C or 350 degrees F.

In a mixing bowl, add garlic powder and self-rising flour. Stir until well blended. Stir in the shortening until the mixture turns into coarse crumbs. Add the cheddar cheese and milk, then stir until well incorporated.

Form small balls out of the dough, then add them to the pot with the stew. Make sure to leave a small space because they will pop out.

Transfer the pot to the preheated oven and cook the stew for another 30 to 40 minutes.

Remove from the oven and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.

Serve right away. Enjoy!
