Fried Eggplant With Honey Spanish Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Rinse the eggplant and dry with a towel. Slice the eggplant into rounds approximately 1/8-inch thick. 2. Lay the rounds on a large baking sheet and sprinkle them with salt. Flip them over and lightly salt the other side. Then allow the eggplant to sit for 1 hour to draw the moisture from the eggplant. Pat dry with a paper towel. 3. In a medium frying pan, pour olive oil and heat on medium-high. Keep a plate next to the stovetop and cover it with flour. 4. Once the oil has heated up, coat slices of eggplant in the flour on both sides. Shake off excess flour, then fry in oil. Flip over the slices once the bottom begins to look golden-brown. 5. After both sides are cooked, remove eggplant slices from the oil and place on paper towels to absorb excess oil. 6. Arrange eggplant on a serving platter and drizzle with honey or molasses. Enjoy

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.
