Who loves eggplant?? 🍆 it’s grown on me over the years.
You might wanna see a doctor about that.
Awake andreborn no way I get 2-3 fresh eggplants every month
@@thatdudecancook 😂😂🤔😜😳😂
John Cipriano cool! Well done on 40 years of cooking that’s amazing!
My first time cooking eggplant is a success. Thanks Sonny!!
Having been brought up many moons ago (I'm close to 70 years old) back in Newark, NJ and raised beside Italians (I was born in the UK) I had the fortune of becoming familiar with eggplant many, many times with my Italian neighbours, and always loved it. Your insistence on searing it the way you do is spot on with my experiences. And, for the record, I'm already at the salted stage for making this very dish this evening! Many thanks for a reminder of my youth.....
Cool, I'm from the UK 🇬🇧. Where were you born, if you don't mind me asking 😁
I bought an eggplant because I've never tried it. I shall use this way of cooking it.
that’s exactly what happened to me two days ago
I grew it this year. Looking forward to trying it for the first time.
I bought one because I've never cooked it before. But I have eaten it before. Will cook it today!
I also will do an eggplant this way
Same here! I even did a search on how to cook it!
I used to hate the texture and blandness of this thing. But today I followed your method and I love it. This plant is like a sponge so whatever you cook it with it will absorb. I used butter as well and its awesome.
It's delicious, the flavour that comes off that slightly browned texture is incredible.
I never actually removed the excess moisture from the eggplants, but now i know that and will be doing it from now on. Thanks sonny.
Something always tasted off about them...
Suu really helps out in the cooking process if they’re dry is all, try it out sometime and let me know on Instagram!
I heard it depended on how fresh it is.
Great grilled over charcoal, topped with caramelized onions, or mozzarella cheese and a sprinkle of parmesan. OMG! GOOD!!!!
The doggo that opened the screen😂😂 I was like, wow, who did that had to go back and figure it out. Thanks for the tips. Gonna try
OMG...I tried your recipe...I learned to cook eggplant by breading them first...They were ok but, not anything like yours. I went to heaven after trying them your way. I almost cried they were so good. Now I can't get enough of them. There should be no other recipe for cooking eggplant but yours. I can't believe how good they are. Thank you for this recipe a million times over! :D
Best looking cooked eggplant I’ve ever seen! I’ll be trying this recipe.
Thanks! Follow me on Instagram and tag me when you make it!
I literally just made them like you showed in your video and wow! They’re really good like that! Thank you so much for showing me how to cook them 🙏🏽
Thank you, i thought it was complicated to cook, Egg plant. This looks really simple. I surely will try it.
We just made these exactly like you show and they were amazing. The darker browning and the pre-salting really makes the difference, thanks for posting. 😊
I followed your instructions to the letter! It was to die for!! I absolutely LOVE this eggplant recipe. Dark brown and black color is what you want. Pure perfection. Thank you!
I never used to like eggplant but the way you do it making sure it's really fried well change the game. I threw it in the oven with fresh mozzarella and marinara sauce on Italian bread for 10 minutes to make a grinder. I've already eaten two sandwiches today it's so good
that sounds like the greek eggplant saganaki, its good idea with fetta chees at the end of the cooking
Wow, eggplant cooking!
I like eggplants. Usually, Koreans eat it lightly as a side dish with rice.
There's a way to eat like this.
Visuals are almost like steak. haha
And the eggplant has lots of nutrients and it's healthy, but the kids don't eat as much as they think. I think it'll be good if you give it to them like this. People who don't like the feel of the eggplant.
It's like a really good idea and a good recipe.
Thank you for sharing a good recipe.
This recipe is easy to copy, so I'll have to make it for dinner right now!
There are so many good recipes on your channel that I try to watch everyone whenever I have time.
I will always support you!^^
서연식당 Seoyeon restaurant thanks so much for the kind words! Try it for the kids like this they might really like it! Thanks again for your support 🙏
I just picked two out of the garden. They’re sitting salted right now. Gonna serve them with local grown ribeyes that damn near cost me a fortune.
I did not like eggplant until I was strongly urged to try fried eggplant just like this. Now, I really can't enough of it. I fix it almost every morning for breakfast and I just love it!
Here's a tip: brush the slices with egg white before frying. You'll need just a couple of tablespoons of oil.
Egg white? Nooooo! I think you missed the point of this recipe. At the temperature the oil is when you put the aubergine into the pan a thin layer of albumen will burn to a hard, black crisp in seconds!
It's the sugars in the aubergine that caramelises that gives the dark, crisp layer its flavour & texture.
Egg white burns at a much lower temperature which will be bitter and... and... just no!
Love the simplicity. Go well with fish and chicken. Good cooking and recipe 👍
Everybody cooks there's different .I love how the tribal people cook theirs
Thank you for the great tutorial! Will be trying this soon!
Doctor Eye Health yeah buddy! Was really good and I’m not even the biggest fan of eggplant
And the transition from Sonny to ThatDudeCanCook has just started. Love it!
Made eggplant for the first time tonight. I enjoyed it but the tips in this tutorial would’ve taken it over the top. Thank you.
it is my first time on your channel, and you made my day with your skit!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 i’m so hesitant to start cooking eggplant by myself for the first time. i will do this thanks!
I Just COOKED IT this Way Today & HUSBAND LOVES it WOW I Actually First told him it Was MEAT after he Ate it Said Where Seeds Come from then I TOLD HIM .😆😆💯👍
I love how you improvise, I always haul out the collander and put eggplant in that in the sink while the salt works its magic. Thank you for correctly educating the public (sorry eggplants, more folks will now enjoy eating you so more eggplants will be consumed)
🙄
Since you like people improvising I'll let you in one mine. I'm all out of paper towels, I just harvested a beautiful eggplant and looked up a video on how to cook it like a pro chef which brought me here. I'm gonna follow the recipe but with no paper towels I'm gonna put them on a cooling rack in the fridge like I do when I dry brine meats, not sure how long it will take to dry in comparison to steak but I'm about to find out.
When they are early in their growing stages, they are white - like eggs attached to a plant. Therefore, eggplant. The full grown stage is irrelevant to the American version of the name.
Imperialism. 😝
Eggplant has always kinda freaked me out so this is good for me to see! Thanks!
Rick and Steph Moore don’t be afraid! Eggplant loves you!
my mom's secret : she also lets the eggplants sit/marinate with some turmeric powder with the salt , and you guys it tastes heaven...btw great video man my mom makes the same
ty, ty, ty for this video! i made this for us today and wow, it came out really nice! i tried cooking eggplant in the past and i sucked at it. this was so easy for me to do.
If I didn't see your dog sitting by the door, I would have thought a ghost moved that room divider thingy!! Did you notice?? LoL!!
My you are observant! I went back and looked.. 😆..lol. I was so focused on his dropping his knife and fork in excitement of the taste that I didn't notice it.
@@avivaceder5308 I watch too many of those spiritual shows lol
I did
Just tried this today.. Holy crap... The best eggplant ever. I'm not even joking. It tastes as good as it looks !!!!! aaaghhh !!!!
looks tasty ! i never had eggplant, so i will try this one day. ^ - ^
幽霊屋敷 give it a shot!
I loved the part when after the first bite you were just so exited you were forced to just drop the silverware and walk away
i HAVE BEEN THERE TOO
I LOVE IT
You sketch was soooo funny..loved it ...Going to have a go at cooking it your way...thankyou....
OMG, the part about why it’s called an eggplant here was hilarious!🤣
Thank you, personally my first time cooking egg plant, found your video. Perfect!🤩😚😋
God Bless You.💞🙏🏽💞
When it sprouts and begins to grow they look exactly like eggs. The shape too.
I fixed this for my supper, very good, but a bit to much salt for me......First time eating egg plant
Very good.....next time I will try in the oven....thank you for sharing ....
When you threw the silverware I knew I had to try it
I don't know if I will even like this but I am going to make it soon. Thanx for showing me how
You should be an actor! Oscar winning performance! very good recipe.
Doesn't removing the moisture make the eggplant too dry? I have a problem with eggplant absorbing too much oil--how do I avoid that?
When frying in general lower heat tends to allow more oil to soak into the food, conversely, hirer heat will have less oil penetration. I assume that a higher temperature produces more steam pressure, keeping the oil out.
That sketch made me laugh out loud... I nearly choked on my aubergine. I figured out you can cook these with virtually no oil.... pan fry with water, and they end up acting like they're fried.
That eggplant skit is just perfect 😂😂😂
I followed your instructions to the letter.
The result: utterly delicious!
Thank you!
I tried pan-fried eggplant last night and it was fantastic! Thanks.
Looks delicious I’m going to try it
Great video, and you was on point sharing your video and your Master Chef recipe for eggplant. Simple and great🧑🍳
I was making dinner 4 a friend , Moussaka , he flipped , This was Decades ago when the majority had never even tasted Curry..."You're cooking PurPLe 😮 Vegetables,
wiv Custard " !!!😮 He was incensed ;obviously an Orange Beans man 😂x❤x
Holy Crap, this is the cooking guy I have been looking for! Hell Ya! Eggplant!
I don't like the sogginess but will try you recipe for dinner tonight and feel optimistic!
lol i was just looking for a quick way to cook something i found in the fridge at 2 am but that skit was funny.
edit: ok so i wasn't expecting to wait 45 minutes just to cook an eggplant but that looks tasty af and i dont wanna ruin it. Eggplant has been my favorite food ever since I discovered food as a kid but we never fried it in my family.
I made and it was absolutely delicious YOU have to try this recipe
look, man. Look, Dale. Goddamnit dale! amerika! 😄👍 this is my first time to see this program! love it! damnit dale!😆
I got eggplant in my garden, and never even tasted it before. Have to try this.
Can we talk about the ghost that opened up the room divider behind you? 👻
Can not wait to try your delicious eggplant recipe.
You’re killing me smalls! 😂 don’t get all mad but would dipping the slices in whipped up eggs and dipped in Italian bread crumbs and fried to your specs work? Damn it man, tell me it’ll work!
I just made this tonight and WOW it’s amazing!! Thanks for sharing this video.
Add a little 🍋 and garlic 😋 ✨️ I agree
I like the way you cooked the eggplant!
I wish you would have started with "this is going to take a hour". Could have saved me from sitting through that acting performance.
@commenthero Oh come on ! It was just a bit of fun. Have a sense of humour
Looks great! But I'm cracking up at the dog in the background at the end, knowing you are eating!! 😂
Hahahah your dog opened the divider in the back ground. I want to meet you. Coming to Denver next week for a work conference. I love your channel. I have been sharing your videos like crazy. You kick A......
Tahini over it is *chefs kiss*
Best eggplant ever and super easy!
The fridge looks pristine
Nice. Going to try this tonight! Love your TikTok videos!
Hahahahaha that skit @ 1:34 was so awesome!!
"I can't tell which hand you put the eggplant in"
"now hold on there auber-what?"
😄😄😄😄
lol aubergine is much nicer if you ask me
Your reaction just made me hungry ... and I had just eaten
I love your video. I'm making egg plant for the first time ....I will never make it another way. Don't want to watch another video on how to make it.... this is the way I'll be doing it! I also wanted to mention in this particular video I noticed the door to the right of you on this video open by itself does it do that a lot. ??? or do you have a ghost ????😮😮😮😮
The best. Thank you. Love them this way!!!!;!
I got an eggplant for the first time never had it or anything and I am about to go make it just like this I will he back to let you know how it goes because this is the recipe I will be using 😊😁
Oh man, I just made these and I wish I could take a photo. Perfect! I have limes on hand so I used those instead of lemon and lots of fresh black pepper. 🍆
Åhn Omaly great job!! The texture is amazing right! Thanks for sharing your results with me!
Love the recipe and thought it was so cute the dog snuck in the kitchen lol
The best eggplant video ever! lmao...Thank you:D
The reason why it’s called and egg plant , if you roll an egg plant on a hard surface and then cut the end of it it’ll pour a this viscous liquid that resembles an egg white.
I come from Egypt- Eggplants there didn’t absorb much oil . For some reason, here eggplants are like oil sponge.
Trying it tonight! 😊
Ok. I will try this. 🙌❤️
Thanks for the video. I'm going to try this. I thought for a moment you had a ghost...lol silly dog wants to cook.
Going to try tonight. I'll let you know what i think
Best looking cooked eggplant
Thank you
Pet friendly ghost opens the screen to let the dog in
Omg this recipe is the best I tried it and I loved it, thank you so very much
Used this recipe - eggplant soaked up all the oil on the first one and tasted like it. 2nd batch pan got too hot and ended up tossing the pan in the trash. That said, I got a good one out of it and it was ok. Still prefer grilling them on a hot grill.
Thanks for the video. I found these to oily though. It probably didn't help that I cut the slices a bit too thin.
*too
I’m trying this now! Waiting for the eggplants to get dry hehe
Thankyou my friend
Isn't that position a little uncomfortable to film in my man? 😅 I fear for your back😄
VAEXR I hit the chiropractor once a week 😂
@@thatdudecancook
How rude of you! 😉
Thank You
Mrs. "Sonny" must have fun watching your corny sense of humor behind the camera. I'd be shaking too hard from laughing. Eggplants are one of my faves. I agree with the color. That looks so good.
Awake andreborn just me and my tripods actually! My neighbors must think I’m insane for sure.
@@thatdudecancook Have you ever tried putting that chimichurri sauce that you make over those fried eggplants?
Awake andreborn I haven’t but I just know it would be awesome! Some pomegranate seeds and toasted walnuts as well. Trust me this channel is starting in 1st gear and certainly not 5th if you know what I’m sayin
@@thatdudecancook You're really doing good sticking with a lot of the basics to help people understand how to cook. Most people create recipes but don't teach like you do. You should do a live video one evening. If you do a live make sure that you put it timer on it so that people know ahead of time.
Awake andreborn yeah I do want to do that! I think I couldn’t before 1,000 subscribers or something, I would certainly have to promote it as the channel is still quite small!
There is a white eggplant that has the same look and shape of a goose egg. Its called white Japanese eggplant. Hence the name eggplant in the US, Canada, Australia.
i already know how, im just here to look at eggplants
I did this recipe today absolutely fantastic
Ok. So i tried this. I'd never had eggplant before. It was kinda good!
thanks for the egg plant info
Sonny, I heard the history of the name is originally in England the eggplant was tiny. Like a small egg. Hence the name.
I love your videos.
You are a real character and your passion for food is infectious.
I understand you cooked in Utrecht. I live in Rotterdam.
Thanks for all the inspiration!
In England we call this an aubergine
