Guest guest Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 For those of you with the George Forman Grill this is a neat way to cook the eggplant. You can also cook it in a skillet or whatever-my friend used her waffle maker...........have fun Ingredients: 1-eggplant peeled and sliced into 1/2 to 1 inch slices spaghetti sauce (I prefer organic-meatless of course) mozzarella cheese (what ever you prefer)shredded " Fry " your eggplany on the George Forman grill. When tender but not too soft, transfer to a dinner plate. (2 or 3 slices per person depending on the size of your eggplant) Top with spaghetti sauce and cheese. Warm in microwave until the cheese is melted. (you can also transfer to a baking dish and finish in the oven) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 Don't have a George Forman (who's he?) Grill but I figure I could fake it. I absolutely *love* eggplant! I'd be a bit remiss if I didn't say to go easy on the mozzarella. It's a bit lighter than some others, of course, but still not 'free' - my handy-dandy Netzer's _Food Counts_ has anywhere from 70 to 130 calories per ounce, depending on brand, and from 3 to 9 grammes of fat per ounce, 10 to 25 mgs cholesterol. You get the picture. Googling got me several sites of course, but here's one: http://www.answers.com/topic/mozzarella-cheese That said, sounds yummy!

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 I should have specified skim mozzarella or fat free. Also I only use a single serving amount (sorry I'm really bad with putting amounts in recipes)(2 ounces max) Dawn , " Pat " <veggiehound> wrote: > > Don't have a George Forman (who's he?)

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 > I should have specified skim mozzarella or fat free. I wasn't criticizing what you'd specified ;-) I was just meaning 'watch out' to everyone, cuz it's so easy to forget it's the 'garnish' or topping that has all the fat and/or calories. That's all! Also, one could use a soy cheese . . . love, pat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 I didnt take it that way. When I write up my recipes I know what I use and forget to specify to others. Any recipe I post is alway low or no fat products, low sodium and low sugar. Will try to specify.

And Yes, that'd be great :-) This is a low-fat last and low-cal (cuz it's for slimming) so to specify the low fat and low sugar would help. As for low sodium, that's a choice, and if that's what you use it helps to say because otherwise it would affect the taste of the finished dish, right? The thing is, I think it's easy for each of us to assume that everyone does the same as we do - and of course they don't. And of course new members here would be *most* confused if we didn't specify in this case low fat - as would newbies to slimming - and of course newbies to vegetarianism if we neglected to mention in a recipe that, say, bacon strips were *soy* strips (the brand names are not known or even available worldwide) for example - and yes that happened once on a list on which I was a member :-( What an argument broke out! BTW not everyone knows what a George thingie grill is :-) - the whole world doesn't use them, you see. Evidently it's a grill that allows fat-free cooking. I believe it's an indoor grill. And I assume it's electric. (I'm sure they're available in Canada if they're in the USA, but not everyone keeps up on latest commercial gadgets.)You see? We don't all come to this list from the same place! LOL (Okay, go on laugh at me - it's okay - and it'll do me the world of good!!!!!!)
