Eggplant light

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make eggplant fire for the winter? Prepare all the necessary ingredients to prepare a delicious snack. Rinse eggplants, tomatoes, bell peppers and chili in clean water, remove the stems from the eggplants.

2. STEP 2

   

   Cut the blue ones into slices about one centimeter thick. Why shouldn't you make your eggplants thinner? Because there is a possibility that the eggplants will lose their shape or the circles may even break when put out of the jar. Sprinkle the blue ones with one tablespoon of salt.

3. STEP 3

   

   Pour cold water into the container with the eggplants so that it covers the blue ones, carefully mix everything so that the salt dissolves. Cover the eggplants with a flat plate and place a small weight so that the circles are completely submerged in salt water. This procedure will get rid of the bitterness in the eggplants and during further frying, the blue ones will absorb less oil.

4. STEP 4

   

   At this time, prepare the remaining vegetables for harvesting. Cut off the stem of bell peppers and chili peppers, remove the seeds, and peel the garlic.

5. STEP 5

   

   Drain the eggplants and lightly squeeze them with your hands.

6. STEP 6

   

   Heat a small amount of vegetable oil in a frying pan and fry the eggplants on both sides until an appetizing golden crust appears. Place the finished circles on paper napkins to remove excess oil.

7. STEP 7

   

   Pass the tomatoes and bell peppers through a meat grinder.

8. STEP 8

   

   Grate the garlic and chili pepper on a fine grater. You can also mince these two ingredients, but in this case you will notice small pieces of garlic and chili in the finished dish.

9. STEP 9

   

   Place the twisted vegetables in a saucepan, add salt, sugar, vinegar and vegetable oil (80ml). Stir and taste, if you are missing any component, add it as desired.

10. STEP 10

    

    Place the container with vegetables on high heat, after boiling, reduce the heat to low and cook the sauce for about five minutes (stir occasionally so that nothing burns).

11. STEP 11

    

    Remove the pan from the heat. Place some of the eggplants in the pan, stir lightly with a spoon so that all the circles are immersed in the aromatic sauce.

12. STEP 12

    

    Place the circles using a tablespoon into sterile jars (jars can be sterilized in the oven, microwave or water bath). Take one eggplant slice at a time, scooping out just a little of the tomato and pepper filling, and place it in layers in a jar. When the eggplants in the pan are finished, add the other half of the circles to the tomato sauce, stir and press again into the jars.

13. STEP 13

    

    Fill each jar almost to the top with the remaining sauce.

14. STEP 14

    

    Place the filled jars in a saucepan or large cup, add water so that it almost covers the entire jar and place over high heat. After boiling, reduce the stove to medium and sterilize the workpiece for 15 minutes.

15. STEP 15

    

    Cover the jars with sterile lids and leave at room temperature until completely cooled. Then the workpiece can be stored in the refrigerator or cellar for long-term storage.

16. STEP 16

    

    The sample can be taken after a week. Fragrant and incredibly tasty eggplants are ready!
