Eggplants in foil on coals

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to fry eggplants in foil over coals? Prepare all the ingredients you will need for the recipe.

2. STEP 2

   

   Wash the eggplants in cold water and dry with paper napkins or a towel. Peel the garlic and cut each clove into thin slices. The amount of garlic can be adjusted to taste.

3. STEP 3

   

   On each eggplant, make deep cuts along the vegetable (as in the photo). You can make 2-3 or more cuts.

4. STEP 4

   

   Place two or three slices of garlic into each cut.

5. STEP 5

   

   Do the same with the second eggplant. At this stage, you can sprinkle the blue ones with your favorite dry spices if desired. I prefer not to use anything other than garlic in this recipe.

6. STEP 6

   

   Wrap the vegetables in two or three layers of foil.

7. STEP 7

   

   Pour refined vegetable or olive oil into a deep small container. Pass a couple of cloves of garlic through a press or chop them by hand as finely as possible. Stir and leave to brew for a while (20-30 minutes will be enough, maybe a little longer).

8. STEP 8

   

   Light a fire. When the wood burns out and coals remain, proceed to further cooking.

9. STEP 9

   

   Place the blue ones on the coals. Leave until done, turning the eggplants occasionally. It will take approximately 20 minutes. Focus on the fact that the eggplant should become soft. To check the tenderness of the vegetable, poke it with a toothpick or the tip of a knife through the foil.

10. STEP 10

    

    Remove the eggplants from the coals. Carefully cut lengthwise with a knife. Add salt to taste.

11. STEP 11

    

    Brush the eggplant with garlic oil (or use a silicone brush, whichever is more convenient for you). Sprinkle fresh herbs on top. This can be dill, parsley, cilantro, green young onions or a mixture of the above herbs. The little blue ones can be left as is, or they can be removed from the foil and served on a plate.

12. STEP 12

    

    Eggplants cooked in foil are amazingly tasty hot or cold. Serve them as a separate dish or in addition to meat, kebabs, cutlets and much more.
