Snack in 7 days
I read recipes on the Internet and came across an easy-to-prepare one - eggplant slices with cabbage for the winter. I liked the fact that in a week the appetizer is ready. I tried it last year. The result was convincing. Today I'm going to repeat it and try other recipes.
The cooking recipe is easy to remember. The main components: eggplant and cabbage need 1 kg each. 10 garlic cloves and black peppercorns, 9% vinegar - ½ cup, salt - 1.5 tbsp. l. Carrots - 300 g. For pungency it is recommended to add ground black pepper. They take it to taste.
Let's take care of the eggplant
In order for bitterness to come out of eggplants, they need to be boiled a little. All recipes contain similar recommendations. First, carefully trim the ponytails before dipping them into a pot of boiling water. Blanching is short-lived. Enough 5 minutes. Longer cooking times will soften the fruit.
After 5-7 minutes, I take out the eggplants with a slotted spoon on the dish. Let them cool down. When the skin stops burning my fingertips, I cut the eggplants into large pieces and put them in the basin.
Shred vegetables
Before shredding vegetables, I wash them: carrots with a brush or sponge, remove the top leaves from cabbage and rinse it under the tap. The appearance of the salad depends on how the vegetables are chopped. The look is just as important as the taste.
I cut the cabbage into thin strips and put it in a basin. I prefer to grate carrots on a regular grater. I pour the grated mass into a basin for the cabbage. It remains to peel and crush the peeled garlic cloves with a garlic press and chop the hot pepper. I first cut it in half, clean the seeds, remove the partitions and only then cut it into small pieces.
I pour both garlic and pepper into a bowl for vegetables, there are already pieces of eggplant there. I cut small pieces with sides about 2 cm. I stir the vegetables with my hands, salt, add vinegar. I let the salad stand and mix thoroughly again, after which I put the pickled eggplants in sterile jars, roll them up and take them to storage. You can eat on the seventh day.
