How to cook eggplant sauté for the winter
We cut the eggplant to the tails and get rid of the excessive bitterness in this way: we cut the fruits into slices (three by three), put them in one bowl, pour water and pour a tablespoon of table salt. We leave them alone for 40 minutes, they will give up the extra bitterness.
This time we deal with the rest of the vegetables: we cut the tomatoes in the same slices as the eggplant.
And peppers are peeled and cut into strips.
We clean the onion, cut into large pieces.
Heat 25 ml of purified vegetable oil in a pan. Fry the onion in butter until it becomes a beautiful golden color. Add sweet pepper and fry the vegetables for another five minutes. We add chopped tomatoes here and fry them all together for 5 minutes.
Pour the remaining 25 ml of sunflower oil into another skillet and heat it. Pressed eggplants (which we soaked) are fried until half cooked in a separate frying pan. Everything will take you about 15 minutes.
Next, pour all the vegetables on top of the eggplant and without stirring, simmer for 20 minutes under a closed lid.
Add chopped garlic and simmer for another five minutes.
We lay out the ready eggplant sautés in dry and clean jars and roll up.
Bon Appetit!
