Nope, but I often steam it (already cut into pieces) for 8 to 10
minutes before using it. It makes for very tender eggplant which
doesn't drink much oil.

Thanks, Nathalie. Now THAT'S a great tip I can use! I love my eggplant but
damn does it soak up the oil....

After steaming, let them drain for a little while (15 minutes at
least). And tell me how it turns out :-)
