Breaded and Fried Eggplant Cutlets

Ingredients

 * 1 large eggplant, peeled and sliced into approximately 5mm thick slices
 * 2 small onions, minced
 * 1 clove of garlic, minced
 * 1 tbsp table sugar
 * 1 tsp ground marjoram
 * 1 tsp ground thyme
 * salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
 * 1 cup unseasoned bread crumbs
 * 12 ounces of a sweet or fruit-flavored beer
 * flour as needed

Preparation
Combine all ingredients except for the eggplant slices and flour in a large mixing bowl. Mix thoroughly with a wire whisk and then add flour until the mixture becomes a batter thick enough to adhere. Coat the slices of eggplant with the mixture and fry in a deep frying pan in 2-3cm of your favorite oil, taking appropriate safety precautions.
