Melanzane a Funghetto
"One of the most common side dishes in Naples is prepared all throughout summer when eggplants grow abundantly. The name refers to the cooking method which is normally how the Italians cook mushrooms (hence eggplant cooked mushroom style). It is traditionally deep fried (and in most homes battered then fried) and served on large chunks of bread with meats and cheeses alongside. I prefer this much lighter version, served alongside some grilled fish, chicken or sausages, it's perfect!" - Laura Vitale
