Many, whom I treated to this snack, after trying it, asked: "What kind of meat?" And they were surprised when I said that these are ordinary eggplants. The recipe is not new, and yes, many people know it and have been preparing it for a long time. But, if you haven’t tried it, I recommend it.
In the video below, I showed this recipe and 4 more equally interesting and delicious eggplant recipes. Take a look - you will like:
HOW TO COOK:
Peel the eggplants. Necessarily.
Yes, although I call this dish "Chops", you don't need to beat anything here. But it is very important to cut the eggplants correctly!
I cut the peeled eggplants into thin slices. The thickness should be no more than 5 mm. If you cut it thicker, it will not be as tasty. I use a special grater. The slices are all of the same thickness. Where did I get this grater, I do not remember. She is already 15 years old, at least)) But, of course, you can do without a grater and cut the eggplants with an ordinary knife.
Salt the eggplants and leave for 15 minutes. At this time, beat 2 eggs in a deep plate.
I dry the eggplant slices with a paper towel, put them first in a plate of flour (roll well on all sides), then in beaten eggs. That's right, not the other way around!
I spread it in a frying pan with heated oil and fry on medium heat on both sides until a beautiful golden brown crust.
Can be placed on a paper towel to remove excess oil. But this is optional. Chops don't take a lot of butter.
Eggplants inside are soft. They have time to fully prepare. And it turns out very tasty. The taste really resembles meat))
Can be served with any sauce. Today I have ajika from plums. At the end of the article, I will leave a link to the recipe for this adjika. Delicious...
This dish can be served hot or cold.
