PREPARATION:

Eggplants: Cry or Cook in Salt (do this step before starting the pre-preparation):

8. Place a weight on top, it can be a plate or a tray.
9. Place the colander over a bowl and let it “weep” for about 8 hours.
10. After this time, start the pre-preparation (point 2).

Eggplant appetizer:

1. Wash the aubergines very well and drain them.

FINALIZATION AND ASSEMBLY:
