Eggplants are delectable vegetables.
They can lend a creamy richness to many dishes that would otherwise be a bit on the boring side. But the downside of eggplant is that if it is not prepared properly it can be bitter and absorb lots of oil. Sprinkle the eggplant pieces generously with salt and place them in a colander. Let sit for at least 30 minutes and up to 2 hours. You should see a lot of liquid beads on the surface of the eggplant, blot these juices with a paper towel then quickly rinse the eggplant pieces under cold water and blot dry.
