Preparing aubergines - used in the recipe Spaghetti with aubergines

 

               

Aubergines have quite a distinct bitter flavour, which can be reduced by allowing them to drain. The draining time can be 1 hour or 2 hours, sometimes more, depending on what you want to achieve.

Sliced aubergines should be laid in a colander and salted. During the draining period, the salt helps to take out some of the moisture, otherwise the slices would absorb too much oil during the frying stage, and the aubergines will release a dark juice, which is the bitter taste.
