    There has always been a lot of poorly cooked eggplant going around. It has a ton moisture that needs to be drawn out through salt and/or roasting and frying to make it not be mushy.

    Cooked properly crispy it can be delicious.

      Remove skin. Slice. Cook on medium heat until most moisture has been drawn out. Add olive oil, salt, black pepper and tomato paste. Serve with rice and grilled meat.

      It also absorbs oil like crazy, so you have to be careful and when and how you introduce fats.
