SPICY STIR-FRIED EGGPLANT (AUBERGINE)
Eggplant is so full of nutrients and is a very filling vegetable as well - great for people who are just getting used to a vegetarian diet and who are missing the 'chunky' texture of meat in a dish. This makes either a very nice vegetarian/vegan main dish or a nice side to compliment an East Indian or Middle Eastern main dish.

ULTIMATE FRIED EGGPLANT (AUBERGINE)
This recipe appeared in Gourmet about 15 years ago, and I've adapted it slightly. It's just amazing how the cornstarch eliminates the greasiness without diminishing the flavor at all. This is the basic version, but you can definitely jazz it up by adding Italian seasonings, grated Parmesan, etc. I never bother 'sweating' the eggplant when preparing it this way, but you may prefer to.

Steps:
- Beat egg in a small bowl along with 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Put cornstarch in a second small bowl and breadcrumbs in a third.

- Dip eggplant in beaten egg, coating each side lightly but thoroughly.
- Dredge in crumbs, pressing firmly enough that the breading sticks.
- Allow coated eggplant to dry briefly on paper towels.
- Pour enough oil in a heavy skillet to cover slices about halfway.
- Heat to 375 degrees.
- Fry eggplant for one to two minutes on each side, until golden brown.
- Drain on paper towels and sprinkle lightly with salt.
