Eggplant salad without sterilization

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 2 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make eggplant salad for the winter? Prepare all the necessary products. Of course, this preparation is best prepared during the vegetable season, when there are a lot of aromatic tomatoes and elastic eggplants on sale. Choose small eggplants with matte skin; tomatoes are fleshy and most importantly aromatic. Read about the intricacies of preparing preparations for the winter in a separate article at the end of this recipe.

2. STEP 2

   

   Wash the eggplants, remove the stems and cut into medium-sized cubes.

3. STEP 3

   

   Pour lightly salted water over the chopped blue ones and leave for 10 minutes so that the eggplants release their bitterness. Then drain the water.

4. STEP 4

   

   Remove the seeds and stems from the peppers and cut into strips.

5. STEP 5

   

   Peel the onion and cut into thin half rings. You will peel onions much faster and easier if you first soak the bulbs in cool water for about 20 minutes.

6. STEP 6

   

   Wash the tomatoes, remove the stem and cut into cubes. Tomatoes can be replaced with tomato paste on the basis that instead of 1 kg of tomatoes, 150 g of tomato paste is taken.

7. STEP 7

   

   Place all the chopped vegetables in a thick-bottomed bowl. Add salt, sugar. You will learn how to choose a pan by reading the article at the end of this recipe.

8. STEP 8

   

   Pour in vegetable oil and vinegar. The recipe uses regular table vinegar 6-9%. If you have vinegar essence, then dilute it with water in a ratio of 1:8.

9. STEP 9

   

   Let the vegetables sit for 30 minutes to release their juice.

10. STEP 10

    

    Bring the vegetable mixture to a boil and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, for 40 minutes.

11. STEP 11

    

    While the vegetables are cooking, sterilize the jars in any convenient way. I pour some water into the jars and put them in the microwave for 5-7 minutes. But you can sterilize the jars by simply holding them over steam or in the oven at 100 degrees for about 30 minutes. Boil the lids for 5 minutes. An article on this topic will help you choose the sterilization method that suits you. There is a link to it at the end of the recipe.

12. STEP 12

    

    Place the salad in sterilized jars.

13. STEP 13

    

    Cover tightly with lids or roll using a machine. Sterilization is not required for this workpiece. This salad is stored in normal apartment conditions, without a refrigerator.

14. STEP 14

    

    Bon appetit!
