Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make fried eggplants with garlic and mayonnaise? Prepare the ingredients listed in the recipe. How to choose the right eggplant for this dish? The fruits should be medium in size with shiny dark skin. Avoid brown, wrinkled, soft or damaged vegetables. Make sure the stem is in place.

2. STEP 2

   

   Wash the eggplants, dry them, remove the stem. Cut into circles (about 0.7-2 cm thick), trying to maintain the original shape of the vegetable.

3. STEP 3

   

   Place the eggplants on a plate, add salt and leave for 10-15 minutes. To avoid bitter taste, salt the vegetables and leave for 30 minutes. Drain the resulting liquid and dry each eggplant slice with a napkin.

4. STEP 4

   

   Prepare all the ingredients needed to make the sauce.

5. STEP 5

   

   Peel the garlic and pass it through a press. In a container, combine mayonnaise with Provençal herbs, ground pepper and garlic. If for some reason you don’t like mayonnaise, replace it with sour cream (any fat content) or natural yogurt without additives.

6. STEP 6

   

   Stir the sauce until smooth.

7. STEP 7

   

   Heat vegetable oil with a high smoking point in a frying pan. Place the eggplants. Fry them on both sides (about 2-4 minutes) over medium heat until golden brown. Add oil to the pan as needed. Read the articles at the end of this recipe for how to choose a pan and oil.

8. STEP 8

   

   Place the fried eggplant on a paper towel to absorb excess oil. Place them in the same order as they were placed when cutting. Let them cool slightly.

9. STEP 9

   

   Grease each eggplant slice with mayonnaise-garlic sauce (about 1-2 tbsp) and place on a dish, recreating the whole vegetable. It is necessary to control that the circles do not mix with each other and do not disrupt the correct sequence and, as a result, the finished dish remains stable.

There were some eggplants left and we had to cook something with them. I found a recipe on the website for “fried eggplants with garlic and mayonnaise. Started cooking. I cut the eggplants into circles, salted them and left for 10 minutes. For the sauce I mixed: mayonnaise, dry chicken spices and finely chopped dill. The greens complemented the flavor of the sauce perfectly. In a heated frying pan, fry the eggplants on both sides until golden brown. Placed on a paper towel to drain excess oil. When the eggplants had cooled a little, I brushed them with sauce. It turned out to be an excellent snack. I will cook again!
