I sometimes bake the eggplant for a half hour or so if I don't want to wait for the salt to get most of the moisture out. I don't know about the toxins -- if you've met me, you know I tend to eat first then think later -- but I like the texture when paired with the raw tomato and mozzarella. It gives you a reason to chew! By the way, for a modification, drop some honey on top. Tom – Thanks for coming by!

Is the texture OK? Or am I just missing a step here? I have also read before that raw eggplant has a certain level of toxins that need to be cooked off before consumption. I could be totally wrong. I am enjoying your blog, glad I stumbled onto it during food week! I’ve never seen a recipe with uncooked eggplant before. Is the texture OK? Or am I just missing a step here?
