Preparation

Step 1

Wash eggplants well and slice into thin rounds,about 1/4 inch thick.
Place eggplant slices into a large bowl and salt well. Let them sweat a minimum of 20 min to overnight. This removes most of the bitter juices. Wash well and pat dry.
In a skillet over medium heat,heat a liberal amount of oil for frying. Fry eggplant slices for 6-9 minutes on each side until brown /black,crunchy and thin,like chips. Mix well with remaining ingredients. The eggplant will break apart as you stir. Refrigerate. Serve cold or at room temp.
