Frittura di Melanzane

Deep-fried Aubergine

Ingredients

 3 long aubergines (eggplants), approx. 600g

180g flour
1.2 liter olive oil
Salt and fresh ground pepper

Slice aubergines lengthwise, about 1cm thick. Turn in flour and shake off any excess.

Heat the olive oil in a heavy skillet to 180°C. Deep-fry aubergine slices in hot oil for about 3 minutes until both sides turn golden brown. Remove aubergines with a slotted spoon and let drip onto paper towel.

Add salt and pepper and serve on a warm plate.
