Sautéed Eggplant
When shopping for eggplant, select one that is shiny, firm and free of bruises. When you press on it, there should be a little give, but not enough to leave a lasting indent. Once your eggplant is home, store it in the refrigerator, where it should keep for a few days. Don’t slice it until it’s ready to be cooked since cutting it can cause it to spoil sooner.
