FRIED EGGPLANT RECIPE

(Keywords: fried eggplant recipe, calories in eggplant, eggplant nutrition facts, eggplant cooking, easy eggplant recipes, recipe for fried eggplant, how to cook eggplant, stir fry eggplant)

If there's one thing I love about eggplant cooking it's that it contains all the best about good food.

  • Great taste

  • Eggplant nutrition facts rank among the top foods.

  • These are really easy eggplant recipes, I was about to say kid's stuff, but actually hot frying is not for kids. An olive oil burn ain't pleasant.

  • The calories in eggplant are low. What more can do you want? Cheap? Well not cheap, somewhere approaching a dollar each in Europe.

INGREDIENTS

  1. One medium eggplant per person.

  2. One egg

  3. Flour

  4. Olive oil and a little butter.

Nothing could be simpler!

Tip: Choose your eggplant carefully. They must be firm, super shiny dark purple colour. Whilst they keep quite well in the fridge for say approaching a week, once they are old, they are dreadful and bitter. If you can't find good eggplants, cook something else.










What's cookin'? Fried eggplant recipe

STEP 1: Slice your eggplant into 15mm, half inch slices.


STEP 2: Put a heavy pan onto moderate heat.

Tip: Use only olive oil and butter for frying. The polyunsaturate oils like sunflower oil are very unstable once you heat them, and break down to noxious byproducts. Never fry with margarine.

Be fairly generous with olive oil and dollop of butter in the pan, remembering that you are raising the calories in eggplant cooking. It's counteracted by a delic salad. Turn the heat down to moderate-low.


STEP 3: Flour the slices on both sides.


STEP 3: Beat up an egg and water batter.

Drop your floured, battered eggplant cooking slices into the hot oil. See these fried eggplant recipes are really a piece of cake. If an old fart like me can learn to do it, then anybody can enjoy eggplant cooking!

Turn the heat down because they burn quite easily. How to cook eggplant is really not difficult.



STEP 4:

I dribble a couple of drops of olive oil onto the top of each slice. Then, when you turn them, they don't stick. After three or four minutes, turn one over to test. When they are ready they are a golden brown colour.

TIP: Once they are done, turn the first cooked slices on edge on top of a slice that is still underdone, so that it can drain.

As you start stacking your slices of fried eggplant recipe on other slices, add fresh battered slices. How to ccok eggplant ? Dead easy.



Once they are done, golden brown on both sides, if you prick your easy eggplant recipe with a fork, the slices should be quite soft and squishy. Depending on how you like them, I suppose.

Drain on a paper towel. Salt lightly.




HELENS 15 euro SALAD


Your fried eggplant recipe is of course fairly rich stuff. We usually enjoy it with a huge salad. I call it a 15 euro salad, not because it costs fifteen euros to make, but because that's what you'll pay if you eat out in Amsterdam. It probably costs no more than one dollar to make, and ten minutes of your time.
  • HELENS 15 euro SALAD ...

    Honest truth? This fried eggplant recipe is my all-time favourite dish. Scrumptious. I'll have a couple of slices on a sandwich for lunch today. FANTASTIC! Who could possibly want to go to McDonalds for lunch?!!
