Ingredients

  • 2 large eggplant
  • 1 teaspoon House Seasoning, recipe follows
  • 5 tablespoons butter
  • 1 (10-ounce) can minced clams, drained, juice reserved
  • 1 cup cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup half-and-half

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Peel the eggplant and cut it into thin rounds. Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the House Seasoning, then the eggplant, and cook for 10 to 15 minutes, or until tender. Drain the eggplant well and mash it with 3 tablespoons of the butter.

In a greased casserole, layer the mashed eggplant, the clams, and the cracker crumbs. Dot with the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter.

Blend the half-and-half with the reserved clam juice. Taste and add salt, if needed. Pour mixture over the casserole, but be sure to use only enough liquid to fully saturate the dish, otherwise, the dish will become too soupy. Bake for 30 minutes.

House Seasoning:

1 cup salt

1/4 cup black pepper

1/4 cup garlic powder

Mix ingredients together and store in an airtight container for up to 6 months.

    Weird, but yummy!

    Rated: 3 stars out of 5
    After reading the advise of others, I added sauteed onion, garlic and lemon peel to the recipe. If I make it again, I will... dice and cook eggplant for a shorter period of time. 10 min. was too much. I'd rinse it, as it was just a little too salty. Also, it only needed a splash of the *clam juice/half & half, and the cracker crumbs should be added as topping AFTER the *. Since my husband doesn't like the taste or consistency of eggplant, he didn't like it...perhaps some one can recommend a way for eggplant to taste crunchy like bacon - lolRead more

    Where's The Shrimp?????

    Rated: 1 stars out of 5
    Why can't I find the Beaufort Shrimp Pie Recipe that Paula prepared in this episode (Head Start)? Does anyone have it ? I... rated 1 star just so I could post this. I actually have not tried the eggplant recipe yet. Thank YouRead more

    Delorcious!

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    It's so good I have to invent a word for it. Delorcious! I think for those who complained about the consistency and tasting... bland, they did not season the water. I put some Goya Adobo. Next time, I will add lemon juice. It was a great taste for an unlikely combination. I can see where a better cook could respect the dish's ingrediedients and make it their own.Read more

    I was skeptical...

    Eggplant and clams? I love clams. I was unsure of the eggplant and the combination. Made the dish (but used two cans of... clams!) One word... YUM!Read more

    No Mo' from Bo

    Sadly, this was a bland mess. However, I HATE to throw food away, so I sauteed a healthy-sized onion and two cloves of... chopped garlic with a pinch of Italian seasoning in olive oil. I added this to the leftover eggplant/clam mix...added more cracker crumbs and a beaten egg. I fashioned the leftovers into "cakes" (ala crab cakes). I sauteed the cakes in EVOO until golden brown, and served them with a relish made from chopped tomatoes, diced celery, chopped red onion, a diced nectarine,and minced green pepper. Add a dash of sugar, a pinch of salt and pepper, a splash of raspberry vinegar to the relish. Let sit. Served together, the "recycled" eggplant mix and relish practically sang to us! I usually am happy with Paula's recommendations, but Bo's recipe really needed tweaking.Read more
