Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 15 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to prepare salted eggplants with garlic for the winter? Prepare all the necessary ingredients. Take eggplants without damage, use 9% vinegar.

2. STEP 2

   

   Rinse the eggplants under running water, cut off the nose and tail, cut them into medium-sized cubes, about 1x1cm. If you wish, you can cut the eggplants in another way, but this cutting is very convenient to use. Prepare a solution for soaking eggplants: mix water with salt. Pour the salted solution over the sliced ​​eggplants and leave them aside for 30 minutes. This procedure for preparing eggplants will remove bitterness from the finished dish.

3. STEP 3

   

   Rinse fresh greens under water, then shake off the water and finely chop the greens using a knife. It is preferable to choose parsley or dill as greens; you can combine them. Peel the garlic cloves and chop them: either finely chop them with a knife or pass them through a press.

4. STEP 4

   

   Half an hour after soaking the eggplants in the salty solution, place them in a colander and let the liquid drain. At this time, heat vegetable oil in a frying pan. When the oil is hot, add the eggplant cubes to the pan and fry them for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. The eggplants should have a fried crust.

5. STEP 5

   

   In a bowl, mix fried eggplant cubes with chopped herbs and chopped garlic.

6. STEP 6

   

   Prepare glass containers in which salted eggplants with garlic will be stored. Rinse the jars and lids with soda in advance and sterilize them in any convenient way: in the oven, steamed, in water or even in the microwave. Place eggplants with herbs and garlic in prepared jars.

7. STEP 7

   

   Prepare the brine: pour water into a ladle, add salt and bring the contents of the ladle to a boil. Then pour in 9% vinegar, turn off the stove and pour the resulting brine over the eggplants. Screw on the jars with sterile lids. Turn over the jars with the preparation for the winter and cover with a blanket or blanket until it cools completely. The next day, store the eggplant preparation in a cool place. Bon appetit!

I saw on the website a recipe for salted eggplants with garlic for the winter. They look so delicious that I wanted to make them. I had never made such a preparation, so I prepared a little to try. I took one eggplant weighing 280 grams. According to the calculator, it made about three servings. I took a little more garlic (3 cloves instead of 1.5). I didn't add any greens. I did everything according to the recipe. My eggplants fit in a 200-gram jar. I did not sterilize it thoroughly, since I did not plan to store the workpiece. In the morning I made eggplants, and in the evening we took a sample. It turned out wonderful! I liked the piquancy of the preparation. The eggplants are moderately spicy, I would even say pleasantly spicy, not hot. The salinity also turned out great. In general, the eggplants were eaten in one go. The entire adult half of the family was satisfied. So during the eggplant season I will make this preparation in much larger quantities. Nika, thank you very much for the wonderful recipe!
