Ingredients

• 2 large Eggplants
• 1 cup Flour
• 1/3 cup Cane honey
• 1 cup Olive oil
• 1 tbsp Salt

Steps

1. Cut the eggplant into thin batons, salt 15 minutes, rinse, and pat very dry.
2. Dredge in flour, shaking off every speck of excess — a whisper of flour fries crisp, a coat fries gummy.
3. Fry in hot olive oil 4 minutes until deep golden and audibly crisp; drain on a rack.
4. Salt immediately while glistening.
5. Drizzle generously with cane honey at the table — the hot-cold, crisp-sticky, savory-sweet contrast is the whole dish.
6. Serve at once; the crunch has a half-life of minutes under honey.
7. Córdoba’s Moorish legacy: proof that eggplant’s highest calling might be dessert-adjacent.
