Chunky Eggplant Relish for Winter

Delicious relish for the whole family—give it a try! I'm not a fan of the smooth, puréed kind; I much prefer having actual pieces of vegetables. To me the flavor is brighter and fuller that way. I make this every year, and the whole family loves it.

  • Wash and peel the eggplants and cut them into small cubes. Put them in a bowl, sprinkle with salt, and let sit for 20 minutes, then squeeze out the released juices and fry the eggplant in sunflower oil (use two-thirds of it) until soft.
  • Peel the carrot and onion, cut them into cubes, and sauté in the remaining sunflower oil until the onion is translucent and the carrot is soft.
  • Wash the bell pepper, remove the seeds, and cut it into cubes. Add it to the carrot and onion and cook for another 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, wash the tomatoes, pat them dry, and cut them into cubes as well. Add them after the pepper, simmer for 7 minutes, and pour in the vinegar.
  • Add the fried eggplant to the vegetables, season with salt and pepper, and stir.
  • Peel and finely chop the garlic and stir it into the relish. Simmer for 5 minutes, then pack into dry, sterilized jars and seal with boiled lids.
  • Turn the jars upside down, cover them with a warm blanket, and let them cool completely before moving them to storage.
  • Save a little relish to share with the family—there's probably already a line forming at the stove!
  • Enjoy!
