Eggplant salad like mushrooms

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 50 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make eggplant salad like mushrooms? Prepare all the ingredients indicated in the recipe. The first step is to boil the eggs. To do this, wash the eggs, place them in a small saucepan or saucepan, cover with cold water and place on the stove. Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce the flame and cook the eggs for about 9-12 minutes. Drain the boiling water and cool the eggs.

2. STEP 2

   

   Wash the eggplants, cut off the stems. If desired, trim off the peel as well (I usually don't do this). Grind into small cubes or sticks. Place the blue ones in a deep bowl, sprinkle with a handful of salt (about 1 tbsp) and cover with cold water. Stir until the salt dissolves. Leave for 15-20 minutes. This way you will get rid of bitterness, and when frying, the eggplants will absorb less oil.

3. STEP 3

   

   Peel the onion and rinse. Cut into thin half rings or quarter rings. Place in a small bowl, add sugar, a pinch of salt and vinegar. Stir everything well until the bulk dissolves. If necessary, dilute the vinegar with a small amount of water. I use 5% vinegar and usually don’t dilute it with water. Leave the onions to marinate for 10 minutes.

4. STEP 4

   

   Peel the eggs and cut into small cubes.

5. STEP 5

   

   Place the eggplants in a colander and rinse. Squeeze out any excess water from the pieces. Heat a small amount of vegetable oil in a frying pan and fry the eggplants until tender. Choose the degree of frying for yourself; you can cook until the pieces are transparent, or until a golden crust appears.

6. STEP 6

   

   Place the eggplants and eggs in a deep salad bowl.

7. STEP 7

   

   Next add pickled onions, finely chopped garlic and mayonnaise. The amount of mayonnaise can be increased. I don’t like it when salads “float”, so I always use a minimum of mayonnaise.

8. STEP 8

   

   Stir the salad. Taste for salt and add salt if necessary. Also sprinkle with ground pepper and other favorite spices. This time I used dried thyme. Garnish the finished dish with fresh herbs and serve.

I found a recipe for a simple salad and decided to make it because... guests arrived unexpectedly. I made it and didn’t regret it: everyone liked the eggplant-mushroom salad and the guests asked for the recipe. I washed the eggplant, cut it into cubes, and put it in a bowl. Sprinkled with salt and filled with water. We stood for a few minutes, drained the water, and squeezed out the eggplants. Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan, add eggplants and fry. The eggs were pre-boiled and cut into cubes. Cut the onion into half rings and marinate in apple cider vinegar for several minutes. I mixed eggplants, eggs, onions, dill, salt, added sour cream and mixed well. The salad turned out very tasty, the ingredients go well together! Thanks to Zhemchuzhinka for the recipe and I advise you to try it!
