Fried eggplant

Fried eggplant, also called fried aubergine, appears in dishes across many different cuisines, including those of Spain, Turkey, Italy, the Middle East, and South Asia. Preparation varies by region: in some places the eggplant is sliced and shallow-fried, while in others it is cut into small pieces before frying. Turkish versions are often served with garlic yogurt or tomato sauce, while Middle Eastern versions commonly pair the fried eggplant with tahini. The vegetable's ability to absorb flavor during frying has made it adaptable to many different local ingredients and tastes.
