Everybody seems to like eggplant parmigiana, but in this recipe, a layer of cooked rice is added as the layers of eggplant are assembled. This renders the dish a bit more complex, with some starch. The beauty of a Mediterranean diet is just that, diversity. Adding a little bit of different food categories to a dish helps make the whole meal more complete. With this dish, just add a salad and you have a fully satisfying repast. Buon Appetito! #LidiasRecipes #LidiasItaly #LidiasKitchen #LidiaBasti
