I haven't done eggplant, but I would go with a mixture of crushed pork rinds and parmesan. I fried some boneless, skinless chicken breasts tonight, dipped in egg and then coated with crushed pork rinds and it was wonderful.

When I was a child my grandmother would cut it into sticks (like thick fries) and deep fry them. After they are done sprinkle with salt and pepper. I remember it being really good. I havent had them in a while though.

I'm not sure about what most people would say about this...but if you soak it in some salt water first, I think it might actually be pretty good. I soak my eggplant in slices for about an hour or two.

Re: Anybody try to fry eggplant

Someone posted a recipe about dipping eggplant in egg and pan frying it. Maybe do this, and then when it's done cooking, sprinkle it with parmesean cheese before eating it.

i don't fry it. i do dip it in egg and then coat in parm cheese. place on baking sheet and bake at 350 for and hour (but this depends on how thick you cut it). to get the bittnerness out, i place the sclices on a baking sheet, pour salt directly on top of them, and then place another baking sheet on top of that. put some heavy cookbooks on the top sheet to add pressure. the salt drivces outthe bitter taste. rinse, of course, before you prep.

I really thought eggplant was raised not to be bitter anymore. I haven't soaked eggplant in years, and it's never bitter to me.

Here's the link to Josie's eggplant recipe:

It's very good. And others have given their versions of it.

I use those Chinese or Japanese eggplants whenever I fry eggplant because they tend to have less water and they usually aren't as bitter---especially the long purple Chinese eggplant. Japanese eggplants are shorter and have a deep violet color.
