Recipe: Fried Eggplant edit
Created by: Anonymous
Edited by: Helen Pitlick
Tags: Eggplant, European, Hispanic, Spain, Vegan, Vegetable
edit Ingredients
4 |
young Eggplants (no more than 2" diameter) |
1 |
beaten egg (optional) |
Flour for dusting |
|
⅓ |
cup Olive oil (or enough to keep pan covered to a depth of ¼" throughout frying) |
2 |
teaspoons Salt |
edit Preparation
Step 1 |
Wash and dry eggplants, cut in fine even slices, salt lightly, and leave in a bowl for a few hours. |
Step 2 |
Before cooking, dry eggplant thoroughly with a cloth, dust lightly in flour (or first in flour, then in beaten egg, if using), and fry in small batches in olive oil heated to the verge of smoking. Turn when brown on one side. Drain briefly on paper and serve at once. The slices should be toast-brown and crisp. |
edit About Fried Eggplant
Comments: Zucchini can be substituted for eggplant; soaking it in salt is not necessary. Four or five medium zucchini will serve six. Top with tahini for a Middle Eastern feel or marinara and cheese for an Italian feel.
