Eggplant is one of those divisive vegetables that people either seem to love or hate. It has such a unique quality about it that it’s often misunderstood, and unnecessarily so. Indeed, most people who don’t like eggplant reason that it’s too slimy, or mushy, or devoid of taste. But there’s actually a way to prepare eggplant that refutes all of these claims, and here’s what it is.
A More Toasted Approach
In most restaurants, the eggplant you come into contact with usually has a soft and slimy texture—hence many peoples’ opinions about it. But you can actually toast your eggplant in a frying pan in such a way that it’s not served slimy at all. All you need to do is cut it into large slices, and fry it in a pan so that it gets a nice crispy exterior.
But that’s not all. To really give your toasted eggplant chunks a razzle-dazzle impact, season it generously with salt and turmeric, and whichever other seasonings feel right to you. If done right, you’ll have yourself a truly tasty eggplant, with many flavors and a great crispy texture. Hey, you might end up actually turning a non-eggplant-lover into an eggplant devotee for life!
