Fried Eggplant

This is a really good way to cook eggplant.
When people don't really care for eggplant that much and you want to cook for them but have something you like yourself, then fried eggplant is the way to go.
Cut the eggplant into thin strips (1/4 inch thick), salt them and leave them to drain. The salting and draining I did for one hour but longer is ok too!
I wash off the salt quickly then squeeze each of the strips to get excess liquid out. You will see a lot of liquid coming out, looking a little brown in color.

They crumple but don't fall apart.
Dip into a seasoned egg wash and some breadcrumbs (VIGO BRAND) and fry till golden brown or a little past that.
They get all crsipy and goooooood.
One eggplant (large) serves 4 people

You just like VIGO Brand because it reminds you of Viggo Mortensen! ;)
