Eggplants in layers

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 2 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to layer eggplants for the winter? Prepare your food. Take medium-sized vegetables. Choose peppers and tomatoes of different colors, then they will look beautiful in jars. I took yellow tomatoes and red peppers.

2. STEP 2

   

   Wash the eggplants and cut off the tails on both sides. Cut them into circles about 1 cm thick and add just a little salt. To ensure that the salt gets evenly onto all the circles, add salt to each layer during the cutting process, or put it in a deep bowl and, after adding salt, mix them with your hand. Leave for about 10 minutes.

3. STEP 3

   

   While the eggplants are salting, work on the peppers. Carefully cut off the stalk, remove seeds and membranes. If the partitions are left, they can become bitter and ruin the taste of the finished dish. Rinse the pepper thoroughly and dry it on a towel or napkin. Cut into strips. Heat the oil in a frying pan and fry the peppers over low heat for 3-4 minutes.

4. STEP 4

   

   Fry the eggplants in a frying pan with oil over medium heat on both sides until golden brown. They shouldn't become too soft.

5. STEP 5

   

   Rinse the tomatoes, remove the stems and dry with a towel. Cut them into circles about a centimeter thick.

6. STEP 6

   

   Remove the wilted leaves from the greens, rinse and dry. Peel the garlic. Chop the greens and garlic with a knife and stir.

7. STEP 7

   

   Prepare jars with a total volume of 2 liters. Wash and sterilize them well. I do it as follows. Carefully pour boiling water into the bottom of the jar in a thin stream, to about a quarter of the volume. To prevent the jar from bursting, do not get water on its walls. Then cover with a lid and leave for 10 minutes. Afterwards I drain the water and the jar can be used. For other sterilization methods, see the link at the end of the recipe.

8. STEP 8

   

   Place half a teaspoon of salt and sugar in the bottom of each half-liter jar.

9. STEP 9

   

   Layer the vegetables in random order. Lightly compact each layer. There is no need to put it all the way to the lid, since with further sterilization, the vegetables can push it out. Bring the oil to a boil and carefully pour it into the jars.

10. STEP 10

    

    On top again put half a teaspoon of sugar and salt, add 2 teaspoons of vinegar.

11. STEP 11

    

    Cover the jars with lids. Place them in a saucepan, on the bottom of which place a towel folded in several layers. Pour cold water into the pan so that the jars are immersed in it up to their shoulders. Sterilize for 10-15 minutes after boiling. Then roll up the jars, place them on the lids and wrap them in something warm. Leave to cool completely at room temperature, about a day. Then store in a cellar or other cool place.

It turned out very tasty. The first jar was emptied at the speed of light, I barely had time to taste a little. I made three more jars, put them in the refrigerator, waiting for their turn. Thanks a lot for the recipe

Thank you very much for the recipe! I made just a jar out of the leftovers, gave it to a friend, and she treated it to her family... Now everyone is asking for more! Very tasty, they say. It's a pity that the system doesn't allow me to attach an image (I'm a newbie and I don't have a star). But I really like the site, I’ve already tried several recipes.

It makes a very good snack! A sample was taken from one jar. When it sits, I think it will be even better! Thanks for the recipe!
