I spend half an hour and enjoy it in winter!
In the video below, I showed in detail this recipe and a few more eggplant recipes. told me how I freeze eggplants so that after defrosting they do not turn out like a "smear". Look, you will like:
I noticed, no matter how much you cook, nothing remains in December! Yes, you can freeze vegetables and cook something like that in winter. But that's not it!
It is in this video that this blank "flies away" simply! Insanely delicious! When there is no time to cook dinner, I open the jar and everyone is happy. Especially delicious with fresh bread ...
How to cook
I cut the eggplants into slices about 1 cm thick. Then I cut it into 4 pieces. I do not remove the peel from the eggplant. It doesn't bother us. And the eggplant pieces remain intact.
I put the eggplant pieces into a bowl, salt, mix and leave for 20 minutes. Then I wash the eggplant and squeeze it lightly.
In a deep saucepan, heat up the vegetable oil and fry the onions until transparent. Then I send the carrots to the onion. I chop everything coarsely.
After a few minutes, add the prepared eggplants, chopped bell peppers and hot peppers to taste. One pod is enough for us. But you can add more if you like spicy.
I stir everything and cover it for 10-12 minutes.
Then I add the chopped tomatoes, mix gently again, cover and simmer for another 5-7 minutes.
Finally I add salt, sugar, a spoonful of apple cider vinegar and finely chopped garlic. Stir again and remove from heat after 2-3 minutes. By the way, you don't need to add vinegar. But it tastes better with it, so at least I always add a spoon.
I put the sausage in jars, cover it with lids. I use jars of 0.5 liters. Usually 5 jars are made from this amount of ingredients.
I put a towel at the bottom of a large saucepan, pour water over the hangers of the cans and from the moment it boils, I sterilize it for 7-10 minutes.
You can saute and not sterilize, but then it is better to add another spoonful of vinegar and simmer a little longer.
