Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound eggplant, peeled, cut crosswise into 1/8-inch-thick rounds (about 32)
4 cups water
2 1/4 teaspoons salt
2/3 cup all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup whole milk
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
Olive oil (for frying)
1/4 cup honey
3 tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint leaves

Steps:

  • Place eggplant in large bowl. Add 4 cups water and 2 teaspoons salt. Let soak 30 minutes. Drain well; pat eggplant dry with paper towels.
  • Mix flour, baking powder, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt in medium bowl. Whisk in milk and eggs.
  • Heat enough oil to come 1/2 inch up sides of pan in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, dip eggplant rounds in batter, then fry in oil until golden, about 30 seconds per side. Transfer to paper towels to drain.
  • Warm honey in small saucepan over medium heat. Place eggplant rounds on platter. Drizzle with honey. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and mint; serve warm or at room temperature.

This recipe is way too complicated. I don't have time to marinate the eggplant for 30 minutes.

I'm not sure why this recipe is called 'Fried Eggplant with Honey, Mint, and Sesame Seeds'. The eggplant isn't fried, it's roasted.

The eggplant was cooked to perfection - crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
