Sprinkle both sides with the garlic salt. Place a paper towel in the bottom of a baking dish.<br \/>\nLay EggPlant in on paper towel one layer. Then Paper Towel, then EggPlant until all the Eggplant is in the baking dish. Cover with paper towel.<br \/>\nTake a smaller baking dish and set on top of the paper towel and then put a pot stock pot filled with water on top of that. This helps to squeeze the moisture from the egg plant (let set for 1-2 hours, This keeps the eggplant from being bitter to the taste)<br \/>\nPut olive oil in medium sauce pan, get it hot and add onion and garlic. Saute until the onion starts to get transparent. Add the diced tomato and 1 can of  tomato sauce and clamata olvies. Add the tomato paste if you want it thicker. Let simmer.<\/p>\n<p>Once the eggplant has sweated out (1-2 hours), take a brush and brush olive oil on both sides of the eggplant. Fry the eggplant until it start to brown. You might need to brush on more olive oil as the eggplant sucks it up like a sponge. Fry it till it browns, (if you want a real treat bbq the eggplant instead of frying). <\/p>\n<p>Once the eggplant is fried up take the other can of tomato sauce and pour it into the bottom of you baking dish. Then lay a layer of eggplant into the baking dish. Now take a \u00bc inch slice of mozzarella and lay on the eggplant. Cover that with another slice of eggplant until all the eggplant is in the baking dish It will look like an eggplant sandwich .. Now take your sauce you made and pour it over the layered eggplant.  Put Feta cheese on top of the eggplant.<br \/>\nBake for 30 minutes at 350.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1 or 2 large eggplants Garlic Salt 1 can Diced Tomato 1 16 oz can Tomato Sauce 1 8oz can tomato sauce 1 16 oz can diced Tomatos 1 can tomato paste Chopped up fresh basil or 1 tbls dry basil 1 tsp oregano 1 tsp thyme 1 med Onion sliced 3-4 cloves of garlic [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":290,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-107555","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mereja.media\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/107555","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mereja.media\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mereja.media\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mereja.media\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/290"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mereja.media\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=107555"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mereja.media\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/107555\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mereja.media\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=107555"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mereja.media\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=107555"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mereja.media\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=107555"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
