Eggplant caviar

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   To prepare caviar, we need 2 large eggplants, 1 bell pepper, 2 small tomatoes, 1 onion, salt and vegetable oil.

2. STEP 2

   

   Bake the eggplants and bell peppers in the oven until done. I baked at 180 C for about 20-25 minutes. Let the vegetables cool slightly so as not to burn yourself. Remove the skin from the finished eggplants and chop them with a knife.

3. STEP 3

   

   Peel the bell pepper from the skin and seeds and finely chop it with a knife.

4. STEP 4

   

   Peel the tomatoes.

5. STEP 5

   

   And chop it with a knife.

6. STEP 6

   

   Chop the onion as finely as you can manage.

7. STEP 7

   

   Mix all ingredients in a bowl.

8. STEP 8

   

   Mix thoroughly, add salt and vegetable oil. You can also add a little hot pepper, sugar, lemon juice or vinegar if you wish. I added a pinch of pepper and a teaspoon of vinegar. The caviar is ready, ready to serve. Very tasty straight away when warm. Bon appetit!

Oh, eggplant caviar is one of my favorite summer dishes. I can add a little to the proposed recipe: after baking, eggplants can be peeled directly under running water. This way, unnecessary bitterness (or rather, part of it) goes away. Then place the eggplants on a sieve, or even better, under a press for half an hour or an hour, in which case the caviar will taste softer. A few cloves of garlic will also add some piquancy, and, of course, caviar from eggplants baked over a fire cannot be compared with anything else, but this method is not available to everyone. In apartment conditions, if there is good ventilation, you can bake on a grate directly with gas on top; eggplants also have a smoky smell. Delicious recipe and just right, thank you!

Thanks for the advice. I completely agree about the smoky aroma. It’s just that at home it’s right on the stove, as for me it doesn’t make much sense, there is a smell, but it’s not smoke at all, but burntness, so for me it’s easier to bake it in the oven right away, but you probably need to try it, maybe for someone it’s fried in the fire will like it)

This kind of caviar was made before, when we lived in the Caucasus, we always added fresh garlic and cilantro from the greens, and to remove the bitterness, we sprinkled it with a little wine or apple cider vinegar, and now, when we make kebabs, we make sure to prepare this salad separately - at the barbecue

Caviar is really very tasty; in the summer it is one of the most favorite dishes. I bake the eggplants in a slow cooker for 40-50 minutes and then press them. Before serving, I prefer to keep them in the refrigerator for at least half an hour, but that’s what you like. And I also make sure to add my favorite cilantro.

This is how my grandmother prepared caviar in my native Kherson. Just without pepper. In season when there are a lot of tomatoes and blue ones. And if they made a lot and didn’t have time to eat it, they overcooked it and rolled it into jars, well, it’s very tasty.
