Step-by-step cooking
Step 1:
How to make a delicious and simple snack in the form of eggplant tongues with garlic and tomatoes? Very simple. First, prepare the necessary ingredients according to the list. Eggplant needs a fairly large, oblong. Take any mayonnaise to taste.
Step 2:
Wash and dry the eggplant. Cut the stalk and cut it lengthwise into thin slices. Add salt to the eggplants and leave for 15 minutes. Then blot the juice with napkins. Please note that in some cases there is no need to remove the bitterness from eggplants - usually young vegetables are not bitter, as well as some special varieties of them.
Step 3:
Wash the tomatoes, dry them and cut them into small slices.
Step 4:
Wash, dry and finely chop the greens. I used cilantro and dill, you can replace them or add herbs to your liking. For example, parsley, green onions, etc. I chose cilantro to give the snack a classic Caucasian taste.
Step 5:
Combine the greens with garlic, salt and pepper passed through the press and mix.
Step 6:
Fry the eggplants in a greased frying pan with vegetable oil on both sides over high heat until a clear pattern appears and the slices are soft. You can fry eggplants in a regular frying pan, then they will turn out without a pattern, but no less beautiful.
Step 7:
Transfer the finished eggplants to a plate and cool. If the slices are heavily oiled, you can put them on napkins so that excess fat is absorbed into the paper.
Step 8:
Grease eggplant plates with mayonnaise on one side. Spread some chopped herbs with garlic on top. Place a slice of tomato on the wider edge of the plates.
Step 9:
Twist the eggplant rolls from the wide edge to the narrow one. The longer the eggplant slices are, the stronger the rolls will turn out.
Step 10:
Transfer the rolls to a serving dish and serve to the table, garnished with herbs. Enjoy your meal!
Since the degree of salinity, sweetness, bitterness, sharpness, acid, burning is individual for everyone, always add spices, spices and seasonings, focusing on your taste! If you put some of the seasonings for the first time, then keep in mind that there are spices that it is especially important not to shift (for example, chili pepper).
It is better to prepare mayonnaise yourself. It will be tastier and healthier. See here interesting

Also, as a dressing, you can use not only mayonnaise, but also sour cream or natural yogurt. They can be taken separately or mixed with mayonnaise in any proportion to your taste - this will reduce the calorie content of the dish.
Any oils are useful only until a certain temperature is reached - the point of smoking, at which the oil begins to burn and toxic substances, including carcinogens, are formed in it.
