Tip of the Day - Salting Eggplant

by Alex Van Buren, Posted Apr 10th 2009 @ 9:00AM

Eggplants are super-perishable, so don't plan on keeping them around for long. They get bitter when overripe, but a bit of salt can help.

For eons, folks have been salting their eggplants when they are a tad overripe. Simply sprinkle salt on both sides of eggplant slices and allow them to sit in a colander for 20 minutes. Wipe off excess moisture and continue with your recipe. This should help save the berry -- yep, it's a berry, not a veggie -- from tasting too acrid once cooked.
