Abalone Parmigiana
Submitted by:Terry Lee May



Ingredients
  1. 2 Eggs
  2. ½ tbsp Kosher salt
  3. ¼ tbsp fresh ground black pepper
  4. ¾ c dried breadcrumbs
  5. 1/3 c grated parmesan cheese
  6. 6 slices pounded abalone steaks
  7. 1/3 c olive oil
  8. 1 12oz can tomato sauce
  9. 2 tbsp dry red wine
  10. 1-2 cloves finely chopped garlic
  11. 1/4c finely chopped Italian flat leaf parsley
  12. 1 4 ½oz can sliced olives drained
  13. ¾ lb sliced mozzarella cheese, about 6 slices

Instructions
In a medium sized shallow bowl beat eggs with salt and pepper until lightly blended. In a separate bowl, mix in the breadcrumbs and grated parmesan cheese. Dip abalone slices in the egg mixture, drain briefly, and then dip into crumbs. Fry the coated steaks in olive oil about 1 minute on each side. Remove from the pan and arrange in a buttered or spray released ovenproof 9 x 13 dish. Mix together the tomato sauce, wine, garlic, parsley and drained olives. Spoon the tomato sauce mixture over each of the abalone steaks. Top each steak with a slice of mozzarella cheese. Place the prepared pan of steaks under a hot oven broiler until the cheese lightly browns and the sauce on top becomes bubbly. Serve immediately.
Comments
A good wine of choice with the ab steaks themselves would be a crisp white like a Riesling. But with the tomato sauce and garlic present, just about any medium bodied red wind would be good too.
