How to freeze eggplants for winter

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to freeze eggplants for the winter? Choose the right fruits. They should be elastic, without cracks and dents, ripe, but not overripe. Wash the eggplants with cold water, cut off the tails from the fruits. Slice the eggplant. They can be cut into any shape, be it circles, cubes, cubes, plates. The shape and type of slicing is largely determined by what is subsequently supposed to be cooked from eggplants (caviar, stew, rolls, baked eggplants, etc.).

2. Step 2:

   

   Put the chopped eggplant (I have small cubes) into a deep container. Remove excess juice and bitterness from the eggplant. Sprinkle the eggplants with 2 tablespoons of salt on top.

3. Step 3:

   

   To make the eggplants tasty and not "rubbery", we will heat-treat them. To do this, boil a kettle with water and pour boiling water over the eggplant pieces, cover them with a plate on top, on which set the oppression (I have a bowl of water). Leave the eggplants under the yoke for 25 minutes.

5. Step 4:

   

   After this time, remove the oppression, rinse the eggplants thoroughly with cold water, then throw them into a colander so that all the water runs off and they cool down.

6. Step 5:

   

   Then transfer the eggplant pieces to a plastic bag or container. Tie the package well, if you use a container, then close it tightly with a lid. It is important that they are hermetically packed and do not leak air. Send the eggplants to the freezer. Store frozen eggplants for 1 year.
