📝 Preparation Steps
1
Add the eggplant to a colander and sprinkle with salt. Toss well to coat, then let sit to drain for at least ⏱️ 40 minutes. If salting the eggplant more than ⏱️ 1 hour, transfer the colander to the refrigerator.
2
Rinse the eggplant well, then spread on a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Press down hard with a second kitchen towel to push out any excess liquid, as if you were pushing down on and squeezing a sponge.
