  1. Typically there is a step that includes salting and pressing the eggplant before cooking. I noticed you don’t include that and wonder how chewy the eggplant is in your recipe (which is why I think that other step is typically included). Also, I noticed there’s no salt and pepper or any other seasonings. Is that correct or was it left out somehow. I certainly like the simplicity of this recipe but I do have those questions. Thanks.
