Egg Plant

Ingredients

  • 1 eggplant
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup cracker crumbs
  • 2 tablespoon lard
  • 1 tablespoon egg yolk

Directions

  1. Peel and slice the egg plant in slices one-half an inch thick.
  2. Sprinkle each slice with salt.
  3. Place the slices on top and allow to stand for two hours.
  4. This drains out the liquid.
  5. Wipe each piece with a cloth and dip in the beaten egg-yolk, to which the water has been added.
  6. Dip in the cracker crumbs.
  7. Place the lard in a frying-pan, and when very hot, add the slices of egg plant.
  8. Brown thoroughly on both sides, lower the fire and cook five minutes.
  9. Serve on a hot platter with the slices overlapping each other.
