🧂 食材
- 2 medium Eggplant(about 1 lb total, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds)
- 1 tbsp Salt(for drawing out moisture)
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour(for dredging)
- 3-4 cups Vegetable oil(for frying)

- 3 tbsp Lemon juice(freshly squeezed)

- 0.25 bunch Fresh parsley(chopped, for garnish)
👨🍳 步骤
- 1
Arrange eggplant slices in a single layer on paper towels. Sprinkle generously with salt and let sit for 20-30 minutes to draw out excess moisture. Rinse the slices thoroughly under cold water and pat them completely dry with paper towels.

Place the flour in a shallow dish. Dredge each eggplant slice in the flour, shaking off any excess.
💡 专业技巧: Ensuring the eggplant is very dry helps the flour adhere better. - 3
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or pot over medium-high heat to about 350°F (175°C). Carefully add eggplant slices in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 3-5 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a wire rack set over paper towels.

While the eggplant fries, prepare the tahini sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, and 1/4 cup of water. Continue whisking, adding more water a tablespoon at a time, until the sauce reaches a smooth, pourable consistency.
💡 专业技巧: The sauce might seize up initially; keep whisking and adding water gradually. - 5
Arrange the fried eggplant slices on a serving platter. Drizzle generously with the tahini sauce.
💡 专业技巧: You can also serve the tahini sauce on the side for dipping. - 6
Garnish with fresh pomegranate seeds and chopped parsley. Serve immediately.
💡 专业技巧: For an extra touch, you can add a sprinkle of sumac or a drizzle of olive oil.
