Method

  1. 1 Peel the eggplant into strips, then toss with salt for 30 minutes and drain well.
  2. 2 Fry the eggplant slices in oil for 6 minutes on each side until golden brown and tender, then set aside on paper towels.

  5. 5 Add tomatoes, tomato sauce, and lemon zest, then simmer for 70 minutes in enough water to cover.
