    Looks delicious! Salting the eggplant removes the water, but also the bitterness. Best to lay them on paper towel while salting so the towels absorb the bitter water.

    By the way, the main reason (as I have been told) for salting the eggplant is so to remove the bitter after taste that you can get with cooked eggplant. Also, after salting, do not leave it lying flat, by place it in a colander place over a bowl to catch the liquid, and with this amount of eggplant the amount of liquid that is drained from the eggplant can be quite a lot.

    the liquid that comes out of the eggplant after you salt it is bitter--try tasting it--and by drawing it out and dabbing it off, it makes the eggplant have less bitter flavors. Just fyi.

    • @cucacintron7102
      @cucacintron7102 Рік тому +14

      That is the real reason you salt the eggplant and let it stand for 15-20 mins. or until it "sweats". To get the bitterness out.

    • @cucacintron7102
      @cucacintron7102 Рік тому +4

      Some "connoisseurs" claim it's no longer necessary to salt and let eggplant sweat because new breeds of the plant are no longer bitter. I don't bet on that and always salt it, let sweat and rinse off.
