Spicy eggplant for winter snack

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make spicy eggplant for the winter snack? Prepare all the necessary products. Take eggplants of a small size, with a dense matte skin - these are the most delicious ground fruits. Peppers and tomatoes are also best used seasonally.

2. Step 2:

   

   Wash the eggplants, cut off the stalk and "ass", cut into circles about 5 mm thick.

3. Step 3:

   

   Add salt and leave for 20 minutes. Thus, the eggplants will be salted and give their bitterness.

4. Step 4:

   

   While the eggplants are salted, we will prepare pepper sauce. Sting the stalks of the hot pepper, and leave the seeds. Remove the stems and seeds from the sweet pepper. Peel the garlic. Slice both types of pepper arbitrarily.

5. Step 5:

   

   Put the garlic and chopped peppers in a blender bowl.

6. Step 6:

   

   Grind until smooth. You can also skip vegetables through a meat grinder.

7. Step 7:

   

   Add salt, sugar.

8. Step 8:

   

   Pour in the vinegar. This recipe uses 6-9% vinegar, so if you have an essence, dilute it in a ratio of 1:8.

10. Step 9:

    

    Add a little boiled cold water to make the consistency of the sauce more liquid.

11. Step 10:

    

    Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan, fry the eggplants until golden brown. This is usually 5 minutes on each side over medium heat.

12. Step 11:

    

    Sterilize the jars in any convenient way. I pour a little water into each jar and put it in the microwave for 5-7 minutes. But you can sterilize the jars in the oven at 100 degrees for about 30 minutes, or just scald them or hold them over steam. It is enough to boil the lids for 5 minutes.

13. Step 12:

    

    Dip each eggplant circle in pepper sauce.

14. Step 13:

    

    And place it tightly in the jar.

15. Step 14:

    

    Pour the remaining pepper sauce on top. Close the jars tightly with lids. Sterilization is not required. You can store such a blank without a refrigerator.

16. Step 15:

    

    Bon appetit!
