Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2-3 small eggplants
Milk (to cover)
1 tbsp Salt
2 tsp Pepper
Flour
Olive Oil (an inch or two for frying)
Honey or molasses (to drizzle on top)

Steps:

  • Cut the eggplant in round slices or in matchsticks, depending on your preference.
  • In a large bowl, cover the eggplant with milk and add a pinch of salt. Allow the eggplant to soak for about an hour (this is to draw out any bitterness).
  • Drain the eggplant and coat the slices in the flour, which you can season with salt and pepper if desired.
  • Fry the slices in a deep, heavy pan with abundant olive oil. (Make sure the oil is very hot before adding the slices and fry in batches as to not overcrowd the pan!)
  • Remove the eggplant and drain on paper towels. Season with a pinch of salt. Drizzle with honey or molasses before serving.

SWEET EGGPLANT FRITTERS



Sweet Eggplant Fritters image

What a surprising flavor in these sweet little fritters! Honestly, if we didn't prepare the recipe we wouldn't realize they were made with eggplant. Even proclaimed eggplant haters will love these little nuggets of yumminess. They have a crisp outside with a soft, sweet, and chewy inside. They're good without powdered sugar......

Categories     Other Side Dishes

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 c self-rising flour
1 large egg, beaten
1/3 c sugar
1 1/2 c mashed eggplant (peeled and diced, then boiled until soft, drained and mashed)
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
enough milk to make a thick batter
oil for frying
powdered sugar

Steps:

  • 1. Mix well all ingredients together, except milk. Add enough milk to make a thick batter. (Should be softer than a drop biscuit dough, but thicker and heavier than a pancake batter.)
  • 2. Place about 1/2" of vegetable oil in heavy skillet, heat. When the oil becomes hot enough, drop batter by tablespoons full into the hot oil.
  • 3. Fry until browned. Turn and fry the other side.
  • 4. Drain on paper towels.
  • 5. Sprinkle with powdered sugar.
  • 6. Note: I have made these on a griddle sprayed with butter-flavored cooking spray. I did have to thin the batter a little more than usual, but it worked well enough. It is a great way to take out some of the calories and cholesterol if you are concerned about that.

Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup eggplant (peeled and shredded)
1 tablespoon margarine
1 cup feta cheese
1/2 cup green onion
1/2 cup dill (fresh and minced)
1/4 cup parsley (fresh and minced)
3 eggs (lightly beaten)
1 cup flour (all-purpose)
salt (to taste)
pepper (to taste)
vegetable oil (for frying)

Steps:

  • Place shredded eggplant on a paper towel and lightly sprinkle with salt and let sit for 15 minutes.
  • Use another paper towel to press down on it to remove excess moisture.
  • Saute eggplant for 2-3 minutes in margarine, and allow to cool.
  • Place eggplant in a bowl and mix with feta, green onions, dill, parsley, eggs, flour salt & pepper.
  • In deep frying pan fill with oil about 1/4" deep.
  • Form small patties and fry until golden brown.
  • Drain on paper towels.
  • Enjoy.

Tips:

  • For perfectly crispy fritters, make sure the eggplant is sliced thinly and evenly. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming soggy.
  • If you don't have a mandoline, you can use a sharp knife to slice the eggplant. Just be sure to slice them as thinly as possible.
  • To prevent the fritters from sticking to the pan, make sure the oil is hot enough before adding them. The oil should be shimmering and about 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the fritters. This will cause them to steam instead of fry and they won't be as crispy.
  • Serve the fritters immediately with your favorite dipping sauce. They're also delicious served with a dollop of yogurt or sour cream.

Conclusion:

Eggplant fritters are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They're perfect for parties or potlucks, and they're also a great way to use up leftover eggplant. With their crispy exterior and tender interior, these fritters are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
