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.
