I just found the best way to cook eggplant

I love eggplant whether it’s stir-fried grilled stewed in a curry in pasta or pureed in baba ganoush. But I don’t always have the best luck cooking it at home.
First I don’t have the patience for most cooking. Many recipes call for salting the eggplant or soaking it in salt water for up to two hours and then patting it dry before cooking. This helps remove some of the bitterness and prevents the eggplant from tasting tough. But I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve thought ahead enough to salt the eggplant an hour before cooking.
