How familiar I am with this wonderful dish! An excellent snack for all occasions. I don’t cook it in jars, but simply in a container and store it in the refrigerator, covered. It doesn’t disappear, but only becomes tastier, absorbing and being saturated with the dressing it’s in. It’s certainly more convenient in jars, I took out a small portion and ate as much as I needed. Thank you For a tasty and spicy appetizer, I’ll definitely make it.

A good and most importantly original recipe. It is very similar to what my grandmother made with only one difference: she peeled the tomatoes and burned the peppers, the burnt peppers give this salad a kind of smoked taste. My grandmother fried the eggplants, so they are in the salad They would remain whole, and then she stuffed them with garlic. When they took out the salad later, the eggplant looked like sausage with pieces of fat, and my grandmother didn’t add hot peppers, because the pungency of garlic was enough, even though we children often ate it.
