How to Make Berinzila Eggplant And Ham

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Peel 2 medium eggplants, slice into 1/4-inch thick rounds, sprinkle lightly with 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt, and let sit on paper towels for 15 minutes to drain excess moisture.
  3. Saute 1 medium onion, chopped, in 1 tablespoon butter or oil until softened. Add 1 cup diced ham and 1/2 cup dry white wine. Cook until wine is nearly evaporated, about 5 minutes.
  4. Stir in 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes and simmer for 10 minutes.
  5. Meanwhile, gently pat eggplant slices dry with paper towels. Dust lightly with 1/4 cup all-purpose flour and fry in 2 tablespoons butter or oil until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.
  6. Layer half of the fried eggplant in a greased 9x13 inch casserole dish. Top with half of the ham mixture. Repeat layers with remaining eggplant and ham mixture.
  7. Cover the casserole with 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese.
  8. Bake, covered, at 350°F (175°C) for 30 minutes.
  9. Uncover and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is golden brown and bubbly.
