Cold Dressed Fried Purple Eggplant

Cold Dressed Fried Purple Eggplant

Purple eggplant rounds are dry-griddled in a cast-iron pan with no oil at all, keeping the flesh light and pure, ready for dressing to taste.

    Cook the purple eggplant over low heat. I am using a relatively thick cast-iron pan without any oil; a non-stick pan is best. While cooking, continuously press the surface of the eggplant slices with a spatula until they reach your preferred level of doneness. If you like them soft, cook them a little longer; if you prefer the slightly undercooked taste of eggplant, cook them a little less.
