Choice

To prepare a delicious eggplant dish, you must first buy them. Choose medium-sized fruits with tightly fitting sepals. Also, the eggplant should be elastic. With bright shiny skin without blemishes. The stalk must be fresh. This means that the eggplant was recently picked from the garden.

Why are they bitter?

To clean or not

If you want the eggplants to turn into puree, peel them. If you are making caviar, stewed eggplant, ajapsandal, cleaning makes sense. If you bake or grill, it is better with the skin. It will turn out delicious, and the eggplants will not fall apart. Sometimes eggplants are pre-baked for caviar and ajapsandal. This is done with the skin, and then the pulp is pureed or cut.

Oil

Eggplants absorb oil like a sponge. No matter how much you pour, it’s not enough. Therefore, it is best to cook them in the oven, grill or fry in non-stick pans and use a minimum of oil. Eggplants pre-baked in the oven are often placed in caviar. They will then need less oil.

Often eggplants are cut into slices and fried. To put a small barrier between the oil and the eggplants, you can roll them in salted flour.

What to pair with

With garlic - this is the most important and best partner of eggplant. He makes it interesting, sharp, memorable. Cilantro looks great with eggplant. And here walnuts It is best added to blue berries along with garlic.
