Step-by-step cooking
Step 1:
Products necessary for the preparation of snacks. The bottle contains 70% acetic essence. Eggplants need to be washed.
Step 2:
Peel the eggplants from the stalks, cut into round or oval slices about 0.7 cm thick (if desired, eggplants can be peeled).
Step 3:
Pour 0.5 cups of water into a deep container and dissolve 2 teaspoons of salt in it We put the eggplants in a container and mix so that each slice is dipped in a saline solution (so the bitterness will leave the eggplants). We leave the eggplants in the brine during the preparation of the marinade.
Step 4:
Prepare the marinade: pour 0.5 cups of non-hot boiled water into a bowl. Pour in 10 drops of acetic essence (it is most convenient to do this with a pipette), pour ground hot pepper, put garlic pressed through the press, stir thoroughly.
Step 5:
Drain the water from the eggplant. Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the eggplant slices in batches (I got 3 of them) from both sides to a ruddy, golden hue. If fried to a darker color, bitterness is formed. You can turn the slices with two forks.
Step 6:
Transfer the fried slices in batches to a bowl with marinade. Quickly mix and remove from the marinade on a plate. If the slices stay in the marinade for a long time, they will get wet and lose their appearance. Now the spicy eggplant snack is ready and you can serve it right to the table. The remainder can be stored in the refrigerator. The chilled snack is very good. Bon appetit!
