Skip concept
Sautéing is a method of cooking that is very confused with frying. It consists of browning the food, raw or partly cooked, on the grill or hot pan and lightly smeared with fat. When you cook meat “round and round”, you are skipping it.
Preparation method
Peel the eggplant or leave the peel if it is tender. Cut it into wheels about 1 centimeter thick. If it is very large, you can cut the wheels in half. Put the pieces of eggplant in a flat saucepan. They are powdered with salt and sugar. Add the water, preferably it is boiling. Cover the aubergines and leave them for 1 minute on the candle. Then drain well and allow to cool slightly.
Grease the pan or griddle with a little of the fat. It is convenient to put about 1 teaspoon to start and then add more fat as the eggplants are skipped.
Brown the eggplant wheels or slices in the hot pan or griddle until golden brown on both sides. Serve them powdered with sugar (prepare them in marinade). Makes about 5 servings.
Ingredients
- 1 large eggplant or 2 girls
- 1 cup of water
