Wash eggplant and cut cross-wise into 8 mm thick slices.

Generously sprinkle both sides of each slice with salt and place on the cooking tray for 1 hour (After thirty minutes, As the salt sits on the eggplant slices, you will see drops of water begin to bead from the slices, if you don’t see it then sprinkle more salt on the eggplant. This will help to keep the eggplant from having a “bitter” taste.

While waiting when eggplants are ready wash tomatoes and green bell peppers, then cut tomatoes into 5 mm thick round slices and green peppers into medium size squares.

After 1 hour squeeze out the excess water from the eggplant between your hands into the sink. After that fry the slices of eggplant until they turn to a light golden-brown.
