Pan-Fried Spicy Eggplants

The pan-fried spicy eggplants are typically a summer dish, but today I had a craving and here’s this very appetizing side dish ready!

I call it a side dish, but it could easily be the sauce for a short pasta first course, the filling of a savory pie with puff pastry crust or brisée pastry or a salty dish for a appetizer buffet with sliced flatbread, small focaccias, etc.

In short, this recipe can be used as desired and will be delicious!
