Who loves eggplant?? 🍆 it’s grown on me over the years.

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

I bought an eggplant because I've never tried it. I shall use this way of cooking it.

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...

It's delicious, the flavour that comes off that slightly browned texture is incredible.

Thank you, i thought it was complicated to cook, Egg plant. This looks really simple. I surely will try it.

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

[dolenzmcqueen]

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 <3<3 <3

Great grilled over charcoal, topped with caramelized onions, or mozzarella cheese and a sprinkle of parmesan. OMG! GOOD!!!!

Best looking cooked eggplant I’ve ever seen! I’ll be trying this recipe.

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!

[debeerpaul]

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.

[thaliaduran]

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 🙏🏽

[nah]

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 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

[stanleycarlock]

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!

[BAdventures]

Love the simplicity. Go well with fish and chicken. Good cooking and recipe 👍

[joshuasmith]

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.

[thedrunkencookmostly]

And the transition from Sonny to ThatDudeCanCook has just started. Love it!

[SeaGlassAndKiss]

Even though this takes an hour it is one of the best things I've ever tasted in my life, no joke
