Two weekends ago I spent some time with Dan’s family. His mother is a WONDERFUL cook and made the most amazing lasagna. To the right is one of the most delicious things ever—an eggplant patty! The Fabiano family is notorious for their incredible Italian food, but these eggplant patties are SO good. They are like a meatball, but perfect. Juicy and tender, tons of warm flavors, and the perfect amount of binding (which seems to be the hardest thing to do right). And the gravy? Real Italians call their tomato sauce ‘gravy’, and Carole’s had the perfect balance of sweetness and acidity. I am even convinced now that lasagna doesn’t need any type of meat! The patty is the perfect side.
Rave about Carole’s food.
Off my to-do list now—whew!
But be jealous because this is some REAL food!
I’m in New Jersey and lot’s of the state is being evacuated. So we are staying in today and avoiding the massive amount of traffic near us. Safety to all of those in harms way.
