Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 45 mins

STEP 1
Products needed to prepare snacks. The bottle contains 70% vinegar essence. Eggplants need to be washed.
STEP 2
Peel the eggplants and cut them into round or oval slices approximately 0.7 cm thick (if desired, the eggplants can be peeled).
STEP 3
Pour 0.5 cups of water into a deep container and dissolve 2 teaspoons of salt in it. Place the eggplants in the container and mix so that each slice is dipped into the salt solution (this will remove the bitterness from the eggplants). Leave the eggplants in the brine while preparing the marinade.
STEP 4
Prepare the marinade: pour 0.5 cups of not hot boiled water into a bowl. Pour in 10 drops of vinegar essence (it’s easiest to do this with a pipette), add ground hot pepper, add garlic pressed through a press, stir thoroughly.
STEP 5
Drain the water from the eggplants. Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry in batches (I got 3 of them) eggplant slices on both sides until golden brown. If you fry to a darker color, bitterness will form. You can turn the slices over using two forks.
STEP 6
Place the fried slices in batches into a bowl with the marinade. Stir quickly and remove from marinade onto a plate. If the slices stay in the marinade for a long time, they will become soggy and lose their appearance. Now the spicy eggplant appetizer is ready and you can serve it immediately to the table. The rest can be stored in the refrigerator. The chilled appetizer is very good. Bon appetit!

I've made this snack more than once. very tasty, just topped with mayonnaise. Such eggplants simply fly apart at the table.

Yes, it's very tasty! I agree that with mayonnaise or sour cream it’s delicious, but even without them you can’t drag me away from such a snack by the ears. While I was cooking, I tried it out, and my family ate everything I cooked (4 eggplants) in one sitting. Like this!

Thanks for the marinade idea! I’ve been making these eggplants for a long time, but it will be even tastier with marinade!
