The Famous Crispy Fried Eggplant From Córdoba Spain

"This crispy fried eggplant, known as “berenjenas fritas con salmorejo,” is one of southern Spain’s most popular recipes. It’s filled with flavors, easy to make, and done in about 30 minutes. Serve it as a tapas appetizer, next to some marinated olives and a couple of ice-cold beers, for the best moment in your day. To make this recipe, I used a long purple eggplant. But you can use any type of eggplant you like. The most important thing is to salt your sliced eggplant and let it rest for 15 minutes. By taking this step, it will extract the water. That way, once you cook it, it doesn’t get mushy, and it keeps its beautiful, firm texture."
