Eggplants can now be bought at any time of the year, which means there is no particular need to stock up on them for future use.
Although, to be honest, I still make preparations for the winter, and not only from eggplant. Because off-season vegetables taste completely different.
But about conservation sometime later (I haven't made any blanks yet).
I will definitely share my favorite, proven recipes.
By the way, eggplant contains not only B vitamins, potassium, magnesium, calcium, phosphorus, iron, macro and trace elements necessary for the human body, but also nicotinic acid, which will help those who quit smoking.
Today we will cook eggplant sote in my way. Maybe, of course, this dish is called something different, but I call it Sote. And you as you want: stew, vegetable appetizer.
🍽 WHAT IS NEEDED 🍽
* eggplant - 1-1.5 kg
* Bulgarian pepper 6-7 pieces
* tomatoes - 1-1.5 kg
* onions - 2-3 pieces
* garlic - 6-7 cloves
* vegetable oil - 70 ml
* salt / pepper to taste
* greens - not for everybody
👩🍳 PREPARING 👩🍳
Cut the eggplants into large half rings, sprinkle with salt and leave for a few minutes so that bitterness comes out of them.
We also cut the rest of the vegetables not finely.
Pour vegetable oil into a frying pan or wok and lay the vegetables in turn.
First, eggplants and carrots are used. Fry for 7-10 minutes over high heat.
Then add the bell pepper and onions. Fry again for the same amount of time.
Add the tomatoes last.
Pour in a glass of water, salt, pepper, add herbs as desired.
After adding the tomatoes, reduce the heat to the minimum, pour 2/3 cup of water into the pan, cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes.
This appetizer is good both hot and cold. Perfect as a side dish for meat and as a separate dish.
And, by the way, this is also a great option for harvesting for the winter.
To preserve this yummy, we sterilize *** jars, boil the lids. We put the appetizer hot in a container, close it tightly, turn it over and leave it to cool completely under a blanket.
*** I sterilize small cans in the microwave: pour 50 ml of water, put them in the microwave, "roll at full power for 5-6 minutes and that's it.
