Eggplant!

Last night I sliced thin and then salted salted my three eggplants and let them sit in a colander in the sink. After an hour I rinsed them and then and dried them between layers of dish towels weighting them down under 18 library books.

Then I refrigerated them in a plastic tub overnight. This morning I laid them out single layers on baking mats and dried them in the oven at 450 degrees F. I let them stay in the residual heat.

Now they are shrunken like dried mushrooms and I can use them in sauce, soups or painted with olive tapenade and artichoke hears and capers and roasted red peppers.

Time for a nap!
