Recipe: Pistachio-Crusted Eggplant Cutlets

The following recipe and write-up comes to us by way of Kim F, who is a regular attendee of our Friday class.

Kim writes: Since watching Forks over Knives, I’ve been on a quest to find and share meatless and delicious recipes. This one is a keeper!  (Click here to download Pisachio-Crusted Eggplant Recipe.)

The only adjustments I suggest are 1 T. of tomato spread on each cutlet (instead of 2) and I brushed on a bit of EEOV instead of using cooking spray.  If you want to make it richer, a slight sprinkle of grated mozzarella cheese under the pistachios is nice.  Cook time of 15 mins was perfect, 20 made them a bit too mushy.  3 slices per person with a small salad made a nice, quick dinner or lunch.  (After peeling and slicing eggplant, I always lightly salt both sides, set aside for 30 mins on cookie sheets to let them sweat, rinse off all salt and pat dry to remove bitterness before beginning any recipe-but you can skip it if short on time.)  Enjoy!

Thanks so much Kim for sharing that with us!!
