Ingredients

  • 800 g eggplants
  • Salt
  • olive oil (for frying)
  • 2 tbsp harissa

Instructions

  1. 1.

    Clean, wash and cut the eggplants into about 0.5 cm thick slices. Spread the slices on a baking sheet and generously sprinkle with about 2 tbsp salt. Let stand for 30 minutes until they draw out water. Then rinse the eggplants and pat them dry thoroughly. Heat oil in a wide pan to just below 1 cm height. Fry the eggplant slices side by side for 3-4 minutes over medium-high heat, turning once, until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.

  2. 2.

    Wipe the pan with kitchen paper and heat 1 tbsp oil in it. Lightly toast the harissa paste for 1 minute, add the eggplant slices, briefly mix with the harissa oil, and transfer to a bowl. Let cool before serving.
