  • Place the eggplant slices on paper towels and sprinkle with coarse salt. Let the salt dry the eggplants for 30 minutes.
  • In a large skillet, heat enough oil over medium heat to cover the skillet.
  • Fry the eggplants one by one for 1 minute on each side and remove with a slotted spoon from the oil. Place on paper towels to absorb the excess oil.
  • Let them cool and serve accompanied by jocoque. Jocoque can be prepared with a splash of olive oil and za'atar (Arabic spice) if available in Lebanese specialty stores.
