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