Instructions
Wash the eggplants and remove the stem parts. Slice them and line the slices on a cooling wrack or onto a plate. Sprinkle with coarse salt and let them sit for 10 minutes. This step removes the extra bitterness.
You can also put the slices into a bowl and cover with cold salted water. Let them sit for 5 minutes then discard the water and cover them again.
Drain and pat them dry with a kitchen cloth.
Grill the eggplants on a grill pan or broil them in the oven, 3/5 minutes on each side.
Line the slices into a container, sprinkle with the parsley and with few garlic slices, then cover with oil. Repeat to finish all the ingredients.To use the eggplants for a parmigiana skip this step.
