Cook Time:
Sometimes, eggplant flesh can taste bitter, but that's easily remedied. Simply slice the eggplant, place it in a colander in layers, and salt it.
Place the colander over the sink -the salt will draw out the bitterness. After about 20 minutes, blot eggplant with a paper towel.
When shopping, choose firm, darkly shiny, unbruised eggplant.
Directions:
1
Wash eggplant and remove cap.
2
Cut into small pieces about 1 inch square. Sprinkle salt over slices and let drain about 20 minutes.
3
Pat dry and place in baking pan.
4
Mix garlic with oil and pour over eggplant.
5
Bake in preheated 400 degree oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until eggplant is tender and brown. Cool and place in bowl. Mix in vinegar, wine and pepper to taste.
6
Serve as a side dish or over rice.
