*Eggplant Parmesan*
Super thinly sliced eggplant gets salted to mellow bitterness and tenderize the veggie, lightly dusted in flour and flash-fried before we pat off excess oil, layer housemade tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, fresh chopped basil, then two more layers. The final step: a final bake to bring all the ingredients together. Like everything there—pizzas, paninis, pastas, salads, tiramasu—it’s available to eat in or to go. Like many items, it’s available for take-and-bake too. 212 17th St., Pacific Grove, (831) 373-0129, www.joerombi.com
