Some other varieties of eggplant may also tend to be bitter too.
#THOMAS KELLER RATATOUILLE MOVIE SKIN#
Older eggplants (they feel lighter/hollower and may have skin that is more shriveled and not tight and plump) tend to be much more bitter. The real secret is to just buy young eggplant (at least the common and asian varieties are not bitter when young). The practice of salting eggplant was probably practiced to firm up the flesh (as it is in many recipes) and then later was attributed to reducing bitterness. This practice also helps mask the bitterness a little, but the bitterness is not greatly reduced. After some experimentation, I now believe that salting eggplant serves the purpose of firming up the structure of the eggplant flesh so it retains its form better during cooking. I've salted eggplant before to reduce the bitterness and it never seemed to work as well as suggested. I notice that you don't do that in this recipe. Someone told me that I should always salt and drain the eggplant before using it to drain off the bitter juices.
