Categories     Vegetable

Time 35m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb eggplant
salt
olive oil (for frying)
garlic sauce
1 cup plain flour
1 pinch salt
1 egg yolk
1 tablespoon oil
3/4 cup lukewarm water

Steps:

  • For Fritter Batter: Sift 1 cup plain flour and a pinch of salt into a bowl.
  • Add 1 egg yolk, 1 tablespoon oil and 3/4 cup lukewarm water.
  • Beat until smooth.
  • Let stand for 10 minutes then fold in stiffly beaten egg white. Use immediately.
  • Wash and dry eggplant. I place paper towels over and under the eggplant to soak up all the liquid. Just keep changing them for a while until they quit getting really wet.
  • Cut into 1/4 inch slices and spread out on trays.
  • Sprinkle with salt and leave for 1 hour.
  • Pat dry with paper towels and coat with flour or fritter batter. I like the fritter batter.
  • Shallow fry in hot oil until golden brown and crisp on each side - 10 minutes in all.
  • Drain on paper towel and serve hot with Garlic Sauce (optional).

This recipe is a bit too oily for my taste. I think I'll try it again with less oil next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my eggplant didn't turn out crispy. It was still tasty, but it wasn't what I was hoping for.
