Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2-3 small eggplants
Milk (to cover)
1 tbsp Salt
2 tsp Pepper
Flour
Olive Oil (an inch or two for frying)
Honey or molasses (to drizzle on top)

Steps:

  • Cut the eggplant in round slices or in matchsticks, depending on your preference.
  • In a large bowl, cover the eggplant with milk and add a pinch of salt. Allow the eggplant to soak for about an hour (this is to draw out any bitterness).
  • Drain the eggplant and coat the slices in the flour, which you can season with salt and pepper if desired.
  • Fry the slices in a deep, heavy pan with abundant olive oil. (Make sure the oil is very hot before adding the slices and fry in batches as to not overcrowd the pan!)
  • Remove the eggplant and drain on paper towels. Season with a pinch of salt. Drizzle with honey or molasses before serving.

Yield Serves 4 to 5

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 eggplants (about 1/4 pounds)
About 2 cups milk
Flour for dusting or dredging
Salt
Olive or sunflower oil for deep-frying
Orange blossom honey or other aromatic runny honey

Steps:

  • Peel the eggplants and cut them into slices about 1/3 inch thick. Put them in a bowl, add enough milk to cover, and put a small plate on top to hold them down. Let soak for 1 to 2 hours; drain.
  • Cover a plate with plenty of flour mixed with a sprinkling of salt. Working in batches, turn the eggplant slices in this so that they are entirely covered with flour, then shake them to remove the excess. Deep-fry in sizzling but not too hot oil, turning the slices over as soon as the first side is brown. Drain on paper towels.
  • Serve hot with a dribble of honey, and let people help themselves to more honey if they like.
