Frequently Asked Questions About Oily diced eggplant
How do you make oily diced eggplant?

Is oily diced eggplant the same as fried eggplant?
Not necessarily: oily diced eggplant describes cubed eggplant cooked with oil, while fried eggplant is usually cooked by immersing pieces in hot oil. The diced version can also be sautéed or roasted with a smaller amount of oil.
Should you peel oily diced eggplant before cooking it?

What is Oily diced eggplant?
Oily diced eggplant is a simple preparation of eggplant cut into cubes and cooked in oil. The pieces turn tender and silky, sometimes with lightly browned edges. It can be served warm as a vegetable side or cooled for a mezze-style spread, and it also works stirred into tomato-based dishes or spooned over grains. Across different food traditions, eggplant is often paired with herbs, garlic and flatbread.
