Sprinkle the plates on both sides with salt (slightly, do not need a lot of salt), fold in a stack and leave for 20-30 minutes. Before you cut the eggplant into plates, you need to cut the skin from one side and from the opposite side, the same width as in the photo. This is done so that on the first and on the last plate the skin is only on the edges, as in other plates that are cut from the middle part of the eggplant.
