    When I was a kid I refused to eat eggplant. « It’s purple, I don’t eat purple anything » Now, I will devour eggplant parmigiana. I am also of Sicilian background.

    Coat the eggplant in kosher salt and let it sit in a bowl to draw out the moisture. Rinse well and pat dry before frying. I also use this method for zucchini and summer squash, stays much firmer when pan fried. The dish you made looked very good btw

      You know, I’ve tried that, and I do not like that process. Honestly, I’ve cooked it every which way I can to try my best to enjoy it, and the way that I did it is the one I like the most. Salting will definitely help remove the bitterness as well, but it’s not the flavor that ever bothered me, it’s keeping it firm and flavorful.

    Maybe you can help. I've never had eggplant b/c most dishes when it's the main ingredient swim in it, and if I don't like it, now I've wasted a whole dish. Is there some type of side dish with eggplant that a beginner can try? I feel like Baba Ganoush wouldn't help, b/c again texture like you said. It's already mush.

    Aloha. I try eggplant every 5 years just to make sure I still don’t like it! I do the same with beets, uni, and brussel sprouts.
