👨‍🍳 Method

  1. 1
    Sprinkle salt over slice the eggplant and leave 20 minutes, until they release their liquid, then pat dry well with paper towels.

    💡Salt draws liquid out of the eggplant, and dry slices absorb less oil and brown instead of steaming.
  2. 2
    Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and fry slice the eggplant in batches, on both sides, until they are golden.

    💡Fry in batches without crowding: crowded slices cool the oil and turn soft and greasy.
    💡What you brown (meat, patties, schnitzel) goes into hot oil: in lukewarm oil it soaks it up and comes out greasy. For onion and garlic that you soften, oil heated over medium or low heat is enough; do not wait for it to smoke.
  3. 3
    Transfer slice the eggplant to paper towels.
