Eggplant with mayonnaise

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 55 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   Let's prepare the ingredients. The basis of this winter snack is eggplant, onion and garlic. Of course, it is better to use vegetables from your own plot, knowing for sure that various pesticides were not used when growing them; the salad will turn out not only tasty, but also healthy.

2. STEP 2

   

   When preparing vegetables for canning, eggplants should be kept under pressure with salt for about two hours or several minutes in boiling water. The second method is faster and no less effective. Bring water to a boil in a metal cup. Wash the eggplants thoroughly under running water. Cut the eggplants into small cubes without removing the skin. Then they will be tastier and more beautiful in the salad.

3. STEP 3

   

   Place the eggplant cubes in boiling water for a couple of minutes. Then drain the water through a colander and let the water drain well.

4. STEP 4

   

   Peel the onions and also cut them into small cubes.

5. STEP 5

   

   Finely chop the garlic with a knife.

6. STEP 6

   

   Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan; you don’t need a lot of it so that the eggplants don’t turn out too oily and spoil the mayonnaise dressing. Place the eggplants on it, add salt to taste, but not a lot, since the mayonnaise dressing contains a sufficient amount of salt. Fry the eggplants, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 25 minutes.

7. STEP 7

   

   Remove the eggplants from the pan. Add a little vegetable oil and put chopped onions and garlic into it. Fry until the onion is translucent and slightly browned.

8. STEP 8

   

   Place the chopped onions and garlic in a bowl with the eggplants. Add mayonnaise and ground black pepper to taste.

9. STEP 9

   

   Mix the mass.

10. STEP 10

    

    Place it in sterilized jars of convenient size. It’s better to take small jars so that you don’t store the salad after opening. Pour water into a saucepan, turn on the heat, and put a cloth on the bottom. We place jars of eggplant salad on it and sterilize them for 15 minutes, liter jars, covering them with lids. Then we roll up the jars with sterilized lids and let them cool at room temperature.

11. STEP 11

    

    We store eggplant salad with mayonnaise for the winter in a cool place. Bon appetit!
