I love pickled eggplants, so I was very interested in a quick recipe for making them. Instant eggplants - I called them that))
How to cook
My eggplants and cut into pieces.
Not too shallow. I put the sliced eggplant on a plate. Like this:
And I put it in the microwave. I cover with a lid or foil. I cook for 5-7 minutes at maximum power. Checking for readiness. Become soft - done! For each microwave, of course, there will be its own time.
If you now want to write to me about the dangers of the microwave, do it under another article - HERE.
You can, of course, do without a microwave. Eggplants can be baked in the oven or simply boiled in a saucepan.
While the eggplants are in the microwave, I prepare the marinade. Combine soy sauce, lemon juice, honey and butter in a bowl. I use fragrant sunflower oil. Can be replaced with olive.
I mix it all and send ready eggplants to the marinade.
I definitely add greens. I take parsley, cilantro and some mint. But you can take any greens, of course. I cut the greens and add to the eggplants.
I'm mixing it all up. And you can serve! Delicious!
Can be served immediately. But when the appetizer is infused a little, it turns out even tastier!
If you like sweeter eggplants, you can add a little more honey. If there are spicy lovers in your family, add a little red hot pepper to the marinade. And garlic, of course, will fit perfectly here too.
But I still recommend trying this recipe)) Very pleasant, sour-salty-sweet taste with a hint of fresh greens. Well, very tasty! And fast!
