Fried Eggplant
(1 ratings)Posted by:eliec
This is a very simple and common side dish that goes well with meat, fish or chicken. The eggplant slices are also great in sandwiches. You can vary some of the ingredients and seasoning to your taste -- I prefer a simple preparation.

I lightly sprinkle my eggplant slices with Kosher salt, stack them and weight them, to get rid of the excess moisture, before dipping and coating them.
Also note that if you fry them in very hot oil (just below the smoke point), and only a few at a time
