this is a fairly quick recipe aside from letting the egg plant slices sit in salt for 4 hours..
but i usually do that and fry them then freeze them way before... egg plant has a meaty taste to it...
for this recipe you will need
tomato sauce (i used fresh tomatoes simmered down for ~3 hours.. can use watered down tomato paste i will add a how to when i make this batch tomorrow...)
egg plants..
salt/pepper/paprika/oregano/garlic powder
mozzarella cheese
italian bread (can use french bread but Italian is better)
grocery store special box of tomatoes for 2 bucks

that helps "dry" the egg plant.. you will notice water accumulate at the bottom of the pan.. just dump it out...
toss em in the deep fryer.. i usually grille them but no time today..

already had tomato sauce made from before...
will add to this write up when i make this batch... basically just wash/dice tomatoes and simmer them for 3 - 4 hours...
you get something that looks like this.. can use watered down tomato paste.. but you will be taking a hit in the taste dept..
