if you look closely and squint through the ferns, you just might find a tomato.

The Easiest Eggplant Parmesan Ever

It’s that time of year, when my garden has produced just about all it’s going to. Some leaves and stems are already wilting and yellowing.

We’ve been feasting on tomatoes and eggplants.

I’ve made my annual hoard of pepper jam.

I’ll make tomato chutney with some of the dark green tomatoes (and let the ones that have a vague pink color ripen on the vine for a few days).

Last night I made Eggplant Parmesan with one of the gorgeous eggplants and San Marzano tomatoes I planted this year. It was the easiest version I’ve ever prepared.

Also the most delicious.

And light — I roast the eggplant slices rather than bread and fry them.

Do you think this was so good because the produce was fresh from my garden?

Maybe. But I think this recipe — so easy and so simple — would also be wondrous with store-bought stuff.

THE EASIEST EGGPLANT PARMESAN EVER

1 medium eggplant

salt

4 tablespoons olive oil, approximately

1 onion, chopped

1 large clove garlic, chopped

8-10 plum tomatoes, sliced

1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil

1 cup ricotta cheese

1-1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

2 tablespoons grated Parmesan

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Slice the eggplant about 1/8-inch thick, sprinkle with salt and let rest for 20-30 minutes. Wipe the eggplant slices dry and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush each side of each slice of eggplant with a film of olive oil (you will need about 2 tablespoons of oil). Roast the slices for about 15 minutes, turning them once, or until they are softened. Remove from the oven. While the eggplant is roasting, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a saute pan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 3 minutes, or until softened. Add the garlic and cook for another minute. Add the tomatoes and basil and cook, stirring occasionally, for 2-3 minutes, or until the tomatoes have softened. Place the eggplant slices on the bottom of a baking dish (overlap the slices slightly). Spread the ricotta cheese on top of the eggplant slices. Spoon the cooked tomato mixture over the cheese. Cover with the mozzarella cheese, then sprinkle with the Parmesan cheese. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese has melted and is beginning to turn lightly brown.

Makes 4 servings

Zucchino Rampicante noodlized and cooked up with peas, garlic, and a turmeric cream sauce. All produce came straight from my garden. It feels good to eat what I grew!

Every once in a while I’ll see some posts about everyone should become vegan in order to help the environment. And that… sounds kinda rude. I’m sure they don’t mean to come off that way but like, humans are omnivores. Yes there are people who won’t have any animal products be it meat or otherwise either due to personal beliefs or because their body physically cannot handle it, and that’s okay! You don’t have to change your diet to include those products if you don’t want to or you physically can’t.

But there’s indigenous communities that hunt and farm animals sustainably and have been doing so for generations. And these animals are a primary source of food for them. Look to the bison of North America. The settlers nearly caused an extinction as a part of a genocide. Because once the Bison were gone it caused an even sharper decline of the indigenous population. Now thankfully Bison did not go extinct and are actively being shared with other groups across America.

Now if we look outside of indigenous communities we have people who are doing sustainable farming as well as hunting. We have hunting seasons for a reason, mostly because we killed a lot of the predators. As any hunter and they will tell you how bad the deer population can get. (Also America has this whole thing about bird feathers and bird hunting, like it was bad until they laid down some laws. People went absolutely nuts on having feathers be a part of fashion like holy cow.)

We’re slowly getting better with having gardens and vertical farms within cities, and there’s some laws on being able to have a chicken or two at your house or what-have-you in the city for some eggs. (Or maybe some quails since they’re smaller than chickens it’s something that you’d might have to check in your area.) Maybe you would be able to raise some honey bees or rent them out because each honey tastes different from different plants. But ultimately when it comes to meat or cheese? Go to your local farmers. Go to farmers markets, meet with the people there, become friends, go actively check out their farm. See how the animal lives are and if the farmer is willing, talk to them about sustainable agriculture. See what they can change if they’re willing. Support indigenous communities and buy their food and products, especially if you’re close enough that the food won’t spoil on its way to you. (Like imagine living in Texas and you want whale meat from Alaska and you buy it from an indigenous community. I would imagine that would be pretty hard to get.)

Either way everything dies in the end. Do we shame scavengers for eating corpses they found before it could rot and spread disease? Do we shame the animals that hunt other animals to survive? Yes factory farming should no longer exist. So let’s give the animals the best life we can give them. If there’s babies born that the farmer doesn’t want, give them away to someone who wants them as a pet. Or someone who wants to raise them for something else. Not everyone can raise animals for their meat. I know I can’t I would get to emotionally attached. I’d only be able to raise them for their eggs and milk.

Yeah this was pretty much thrown together, and I just wanted to say my thoughts and throw them into the void. If you have some examples of sustainable farming/agriculture, please share them because while I got some stuff I posted from YouTube, I’m still interested to see what stuff I might’ve missed!

#solarpunk #farming #hunting #agriculture #sustainability #sustainable farming #sustainable agriculture #like Rewilding farm land is pretty interesting and trying to replicate an ecosystem with farm animals but also allowing wild animals #to make homes in the rewild farm land is pretty cool #and I have an absolute love for food/garden forests #and hydroponics have shown to be really great for communities in the winter time and they want to have fresh produce #all sorts of cool stuff
