"Mushroom-Style" Eggplant with Mayonnaise

A canned preserve with a surprising taste—wow your family! This mushroom-style eggplant is genuinely delicious.

The amounts given yield about four half-pint (250 ml) jars, plus a little extra to taste-test. The processing time below is for half-pint jars; for pint (500 ml) jars, add another 10–15 minutes. When you serve it, you can stir in some chopped fresh herbs.

    1. Wash and peel the eggplants, cut them into large pieces, and boil in water for 5 minutes. Drain in a colander and let the excess liquid run off.
    1. Peel the onion and garlic. Slice the onion into thin half-moons and the garlic into thin slivers, then sauté in vegetable oil until translucent. Transfer to a separate dish.
    1. In the remaining oil, fry the eggplant for about 10 minutes; each piece should brown nicely, so work in two batches if needed.
    1. Combine the eggplant with the onion and garlic, add the mayonnaise and mushroom seasoning, stir gently, and pack into clean, dry jars.
    1. Set the filled jars in a pot large enough to hold them, with a towel on the bottom. Pour in warm water so it comes up to the shoulders of the jars.
    1. Bring to a simmer and process for 30 minutes, then seal the jars airtight.
  • Store the jars in a cool, dark place.
  • Enjoy this tasty appetizer!
