Pan Fried Eggplant With Tangy Garlic Cilantro Sauce

Lebanese pan-fried eggplants are a simple yet incredibly flavorful dish often featured in Middle Eastern cuisine. The eggplants are sliced, salted to remove excess moisture and bitterness, and then fried until golden and tender. I end up topping them with garlic, fresh cilantro, lemon juice, sweet and tart pomegranate molasses, and crushed walnuts for crunch. It’s absolutely delicious.
