Eggplant Parmesan is a baked vegetable dish cooked from an Eggplant and a Tomato. Lewis sends the recipe once his friendship reaches seven hearts. It is a strong meal for combat, since it raises defence by three and adds a point of Mining. That pairing makes it a good choice for runs in the Skull Cavern. Both vegetables keep producing after their first harvest, so the dish is cheap to make in quantity. Jodi loves it as a gift.
The in-game description reads: Tangy, cheesy, and wonderful.
Recipe
Lewis mails the recipe after his friendship reaches seven hearts. The mayor loves Autumn's Bounty, Glazed Yams and Vegetable Medley, so a farm that cooks for him reaches that friendship level sooner.
Cooking an Eggplant with a Tomato makes Eggplant Parmesan.
The two vegetables grow in different seasons. Tomatoes are a Summer crop: Pierre's General Store sells Tomato Seeds in Summer, and the plant keeps producing every four days after the first harvest. Eggplants are a Fall crop: Pierre sells Eggplant Seeds in Fall, and the plant ripens in five days and keeps producing every five days. Cooking the dish therefore means saving Tomatoes from Summer for the Fall Eggplant harvest, or growing both in the Greenhouse.
An upgraded farmhouse kitchen or a Cookout Kit is needed to make it, as with every dish.
Eggplant Parmesan also turns up ready-made. The Saturday stock from Krobus can include it, as can the Stardrop Saloon's rotating stock and the Garbage Can outside the Saloon. At the Desert Festival, both the Calico Egg Merchant and Gus sell it for Calico Eggs. A Mystery Box can contain one too.
These are the ingredients one batch needs.

Effects
Eating Eggplant Parmesan gives +1 Mining and +3 defence for about four and a half minutes. It also restores a large amount of energy and health.
Each point of defence takes one point off the damage of every monster hit, so three points is a large boost for a single dish. Together with the Mining point, the buffs suit a dive through the Skull Cavern, where monsters hit hard and the rocks hide valuable ore. The buff is fairly short, so it pays to eat it at the start of a run.
Qi Seasoning makes a stronger dish. A seasoned Eggplant Parmesan is gold quality. Each buff rises by one, so defence reaches +4. The buff lasts half as long again, and the dish restores 80 percent more energy and health.
Prices
Eggplant Parmesan sells for a fair price. Eggplants and Tomatoes both grow from cheap seeds and keep producing after the first harvest, so the dish is an easy way to use a surplus of either. Qi Seasoning raises its sale price by half.
