Yesterday our Live Healthy America class was on Italy! The students were super excited to learn about Italy since it was a country they were very familiar with. We learned that Italy is a peninsula, which is a body of land surrounded by water on 3 sides. We also learned that the Alps are the mountains in northern Italy. In italy they eat traditional Italian food and the students have personally eaten many of these foods before! We learned about Venice transportation and that there are no cars or trucks in Venice! They use boats to do everything incluidng construction and trash pickup. Gondolas are a fancy way to travel in the canals. Lastly, we learned about italian cooking tools like a pasta drying rack, pasta maker, and a tomato press used as an aid in making sauce.
The recipe that we made was called extra-ordinary eggplant. The students got to mix the wet and dry ingredients. We dipped our eggplant slices in the wet first and then the dry bread crumbs. I explained to them that you have wet ingredients so the dry ingredients stick to the eggplant! I have attached the recipe below so you can make it yourself!
I have also added a picture of some of the students in my class! You can see our eggplant pieces in front of us as they are ready to cook! :)
