eggplant cutlets and sugar-syrup

[missmuffcake]

So growing up in a Sicilian family my dad would make meat-based cotolette. Truth be told I loved it, esp. the day after on white bread and a bit of mayo tucked into my lunchbox. Today I was making lunch (day off!!!) with the TV on Food Network and ta-da Mario was talking about an eggplant cotolette. I found the recipe on the site however I am not

The raw sugar should melt down fine, it'll probably just take a little longer and might have a slightly more molasses-y flavor than white sugar.

As for the eggplant, I'll leave that someone else with more expertise than me. =0)

Excuse my ignorance, but what is cotolette? I am curious! It sounds good.

I think cotolette maybe = cutlet?

Correct and the rest of the recipe can be found on the foodnetwork.com site! :)

i don't know what cotolette is, but this sounds similar to eggplant parmesan. my fiance and i have great luck with using ener-g egg replacer and using the dry-wet-dry method (that is, dipping the eggplant in dry flour, then dipping it in the wet egg replacer, then dipping it in the bread crumbs). We season all three mixtures and we shallow fry the eggplant after all the dipping is over. I think baking would work too.

Will you share the rest of the recipe (i.e. how to make)? This sounds good!

When breading some sort of cutlet, I dredge it in flour, then curdled soymilk (just add a little lemon juice or vinegar), then bread crumbs.
