Eggplant in tomato sauce

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make eggplants in tomato sauce for the winter? From the proposed quantity of products you will get 8 half-liter or 4 liter jars. Wash the eggplants, cut off their stems and cut into medium-sized cubes. I first cut the eggplants into circles, and then cut each of them into cubes.

2. STEP 2

   

   Wash fresh tomatoes, cut off the bottom and puree in a blender. If all the tomatoes do not fit into the bowl at once, grind them in several stages. They can also be twisted in a meat grinder. It turns out tomato puree with seeds.

3. STEP 3

   

   For cooking, it is better to use an enamel pan of a suitable size. Pour the prepared eggplants into it, fill them with tomato puree, add salt, sugar and vegetable oil. Stir and place over medium heat. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes. During this time, the contents of the pan must be stirred so that the tomato does not burn to the bottom. I used a wooden spatula for this, but you can also use a large wooden spoon.

4. STEP 4

   

   While the eggplants are boiling, prepare the garlic and pepper. Peel the garlic and pass through a press. Cut off a quarter of the red hot pepper and chop it finely, do not throw away the seeds, they will also go into the dish.

5. STEP 5

   

   Twenty minutes after the eggplants start boiling in the tomato, add garlic and pepper to the pan. Stir and cook over low heat for another 20 minutes. The mixture will gradually boil away; I did not cover the pan. 5 minutes before the end of cooking, pour in the vinegar and stir. Turn off the heat and pour the eggplants into sterilized jars and seal them with sterilized lids. Turn the jars over, cover with a towel and leave to cool.
