Eggplants in a frying pan with garlic and tomatoes quickly

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 25 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to quickly fry eggplants with garlic in a frying pan? First of all, prepare all the necessary products. Instead of olive oil, I used regular, unscented vegetable oil.

2. STEP 2

   

   Wash the eggplants in clean water and dry with a kitchen towel. Cut off the “tails” on both sides and cut the blue ones into circles about 0.5-0.8 mm thick. If your eggplants are large and thick, then cut each circle in half or into four parts.

3. STEP 3

   

   Heat some vegetable oil in a frying pan. Fry the eggplants on both sides until a nice golden brown appears.

4. STEP 4

   

   Using a slotted spoon or fork, remove the blue ones from the pan and place on paper napkins to remove excess oil.

5. STEP 5

   

   At this time, prepare everything else. Peel the garlic. Rinse the tomatoes and basil under running water and dry with napkins. I used a few cherry tomatoes in the recipe.

6. STEP 6

   

   Cut the garlic into two parts, chop the basil. Cut each tomato in half and remove the stem attachment points, and then chop into small slices, as in the photo.

7. STEP 7

   

   In a clean frying pan, heat olive or vegetable oil (2-3 tbsp), fry the garlic until golden brown.

8. STEP 8

   

   Remove the garlic; it has fulfilled its function by imbuing the oil with aromas. Add tomatoes and basil to the pan. Simmer for about 5-7 minutes, stirring gently occasionally.

9. STEP 9

   

   Add fried eggplants to the tomatoes, salt and pepper to taste, stir again. Reduce the heat on the stove to slightly below medium and simmer the vegetables for 5 to 10 minutes. Stir occasionally so that nothing burns; do it carefully to keep the pieces intact as much as possible and not turn the dish into mush.

10. STEP 10

    

    Sprinkle the finished eggplants with tomatoes with fresh herbs if desired. Basil, parsley, dill or green onions are great. You can serve!

It’s really very quick, easy to cook, and with only two types of vegetables! Unfortunately, there was no basil, but it turned out no less tasty and colorful. You can serve it with a side dish, or even as a salad. Eggplant in a frying pan with garlic and tomatoes will quickly go well with everything. Even just with bread, as the author writes.

I recommend one more recipe. Do you like eggplants? Then bake them in the oven with tomatoes and cheese! Add garlic and herbs for flavor, and mayonnaise for juiciness. These eggplants are delicious hot or cold!
