Ingredients
- 3 Asian Eggplants
- 1 tbsp Salt
- 2 tsp Black Pepper
- ⅛ tsp Paprika
- ⅓ cup Flour
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 tbsp Ginger Spiced Honey
Instructions
- Cut the eggplant into 0.5 cm thick round slices.
- Sprinkle the salt over the eggplant in a large mixing bowl. Allow about an hour of resting time for the eggplant (this is to draw out any bitterness).
- Season the flour mixture with salt, pepper, and paprika; coat the eggplant slices in it.
- In a deep, heavy pan with some olive oil, fry the slices. Before adding the eggplant, make sure the oil is very hot.
- Drain the eggplant on paper towels after removing it from the pan. Add a pinch of salt to taste. Drizzle with honey that has been spiced with ginger.
