This version of fried eggplant — famous in southern countries around the world — is really eggplant home fries. Placing the eggplant in a saltwater bath for a little while will remove any bitterness the larger vegetables sometimes have. Be sure to buy firm ones with bright green tops; they’re less likely to have seeds.
Ingredients
2 - Salt
- Peanut oil for frying
½ cup
Method
About 45 minutes before serving, peel the eggplants and cut them as for home fries (large irregular fries). Place them in a bowl of salted ice water for about 30 minutes.
