Cooking process

Cold and tomatoes are prepared quite easily and quickly. To do this, you need to wash all the mentioned vegetables, peel them from the stalks, and then chop them into circles 1.5 centimeters thick.

To give this snack dish a more aromatic taste and beautiful appearance, the eggplants need to be fried a little in oil (vegetable). To do this, the product should be seasoned with table salt, rolled in flour, and then placed in a very hot frying pan. After both sides of the vegetable become brown, they should be removed from the saucepan and blotted with a paper napkin to completely remove the fat.

Also, cold eggplant appetizers require separate preparation of aromatic sauce. To create it, you need to grate hard cheese and garlic on a small grater, and then mix them thoroughly with mayonnaise.

Only young fruits, in which the concentration of corned beef is the lowest, should be prepared in snacks. It is the enzymes of this substance that give bitterness. To find out whether vegetables are young or old, it is enough to examine their stalk.

If the tail of the vegetables is dry and brown, it means that the eggplants have been picked a long time ago and will taste bitter. You should pay attention to the smoothness and elasticity of the fruit; the wrinkled surface and, accordingly, the lethargy of the vegetables indicate that the eggplants are no longer fresh. You can eliminate bitterness using ordinary salt.

To do this, just salt the chopped pieces and leave for half an hour. The bulk of the bitterness will go away along with the released liquid.

When baking fruits, it is advisable to pierce them with a fork in different places. This way they will bake more evenly due to the release of accumulated steam. A great way to bake eggplants is on a cast iron surface, which is placed over an open fire or on a grill. With this method, the fruits will preserve their color and aroma as much as possible.

The undoubted friend of the blue ones is garlic. It helps bring out the full flavor of the eggplant. When preparing eggplant appetizers, you should always use this product, which gives the dish an unforgettable taste and aroma. If you soak vegetables in cold water for 20 minutes before cooking, they will absorb much less fat when frying.

For the same purpose, vegetables are first scalded with boiling water, boiled or lightly baked.

The peel contains the bulk of vitamins and nutrients, so it is important to cook them unpeeled, preserving the maximum benefits of the dish.

Blue ones are undoubtedly the best vegetables given to us by nature. Preparing eggplant appetizers is quite easy; even a novice housewife can handle most recipes. The taste of this vegetable is unique in itself, and the combination with almost any filling - meat, vegetable or fish - allows you to create delicious culinary masterpieces.
