Sandi is blogging from the WhistleStop Cafe kitchen. It's all about good home cooking; food, family and fun. Thousands of posts . . .
~In the south and around the world.
It is actually my partner Jan's turn to post this week for Pomodori e Vino. . . But I saw some beautiful thin Italian eggplant in the produce department and decided to join in the fun.

I followed Marcella's instructions on thinly slicing the eggplant and laying it in a colander with salt. This will draw out the bitter taste and any excess liquid.

The dried eggplant is then lightly floured...

and fried in hot vegetable oil (we like ours crispy!)

If a southern cook knows anything... it is how to fry!
Come back tomorrow on our friday's favorite linky party to see what I did with these fried eggplant.
Remember to follow us along daily on
Facebook or on the
Pomodori e Vino Blog ...
Ciao Y'all,
Sandi

Oh, I love eggplant! Fried or any other way!!
I love eggplant, Sandi, and I always salt it first to drain off the bitterness.
Not sure if I like egg plant or not..been a long, long time since I tried it. Wonder how it would be roasted.? We are so trying to stay away from fried...we both could eat paper towels if they were dipped and fried. :))
I have my post up and will come back later to link with your fun meme.
hugs, bj
