Eggplant dishes. Eggplant preparations for the winter, or how to manage the eggplant harvest Eggplant in its own juice

It is believed that eggplants, thanks to the potassium they contain, have a beneficial effect on the functioning of the heart and normalize the body's water-salt metabolism. It’s not for nothing that in the East they are called vegetables of longevity and are recommended for older people to eat regularly. In addition, eggplants are low in calories: only 24 kcal per 100 grams of product. At the same time, they help cleanse the intestines. Just what you need if you're watching your figure.

But sometimes even benefit is not an argument. Many housewives even today consider eggplants to be too capricious: they either turn black or taste bitter. Although these troubles are easy to avoid.

  1. Before cooking, soak the eggplants in salted water for half an hour. Then rinse. This will remove the bitterness from the vegetables.
  2. If you are preparing caviar, do not put the eggplants through a meat grinder or cut them with a metal knife. This may give the dish an unpleasant aftertaste. Grind the blue ones with a ceramic or wooden cutter.
  3. To prevent eggplants from absorbing a lot of fat when frying, first scald them with boiling water.
  4. To prevent the flesh from turning black, cook the eggplants over high heat.
  5. If you want the eggplant slices or mugs to not lose their shape when cooked, do not peel them.

Moussaka

This is a traditional Balkan and Middle Eastern dish made from eggplant and minced meat. Tasty and very filling.

Ingredients:

  • 800 g eggplants;
  • 800 g minced lamb or beef;
  • 300 g tomatoes;
  • 1 onion;
  • 50 g hard cheese;
  • 180 g dry white wine;
  • olive oil for frying;
  • salt and pepper to taste.

For the sauce:

  • 500 ml milk ;
  • 40 g butter;
  • 30 g flour;
  • 200 g hard cheese;
  • 2 eggs;
  • salt and nutmeg to taste.

Preparation

Let's start with the sauce. Melt the butter in a frying pan and “fry” the flour in it. At the same time, heat the milk a little (do not boil!). To ensure a lump-free sauce, the milk and the butter and flour mixture should be at approximately the same temperature. Pour the milk into the pan with the butter and flour, stirring constantly. Salt, add nutmeg. Bring to a boil, and then add grated cheese. Continue cooking, remembering to stir, until the cheese melts. Then remove from heat. While the mixture cools, beat the eggs in a separate bowl. After this, slowly pour them into the sauce, stirring thoroughly. The sauce is ready.

The onion for moussaka needs to be cut into half rings, the tomatoes should be peeled and chopped into cubes. We cut the eggplants into thin oblong slices (don't forget to soak them in salted water!) and fry them in olive oil on both sides. After frying, place them on paper towels to absorb excess fat. You also need to fry the onion (until soft) and minced meat. In the middle of frying, pour wine into the onions and minced meat and cook until the liquid evaporates. After this, add the tomatoes, salt, pepper and simmer for a few more minutes.

Assembling the moussaka: place the eggplants and minced meat in layers in a baking dish so that the eggplants are on top. Pour the sauce over everything and sprinkle with grated cheese. Place in the oven preheated to 180°C for 30–40 minutes.

Caponata

This is a Sicilian stew made from eggplant and other vegetables. It is eaten both hot and cold, served as an independent dish, as well as a side dish and snack.

Ingredients:

  • 800 g eggplants;
  • 150 g olives;
  • 90 g capers;
  • 140 g onions;
  • 50 g sugar;
  • 400 ml tomato paste;
  • 80 ml white wine vinegar;
  • olive oil for frying;
  • basil, salt and pepper to taste.

Preparation

Peel the eggplants, cut them into cubes and fry them in olive oil. To prevent vegetables from being too fatty, you can lightly pour boiling water over them before frying.

In a separate bowl, caramelize the onion with sugar (do not use butter) until golden. Then add capers (remember that they can be used as pickles), olives, wine vinegar and a little olive oil. Simmer it all for about five minutes, then add the fried eggplants and tomato paste. Cook for another 7–10 minutes. A couple of minutes before cooking, add finely chopped fresh basil, salt and pepper to taste. Be careful with salt. You can generally do without it, since capers usually add the necessary saltiness to the dish.

Lasagna

This is a variation of a traditional Italian dish where eggplant replaces the dough.

Ingredients:

  • 800 g eggplants;
  • 500 g minced beef;
  • 500 g thick tomato paste;
  • 100 g mozzarella;
  • 100 g parmesan;
  • 100 g breadcrumbs;
  • 2 eggs;
  • 2 tablespoons of water;

Preparation

We clean the eggplants and cut them into circles about one and a half centimeters thick. In a bowl, beat eggs with two tablespoons of water. In a separate bowl, mix grated Parmesan, breadcrumbs, salt and pepper. Dip each eggplant slice first into beaten eggs and then into a mixture of breadcrumbs and cheese. Place the eggplants on a baking sheet greased with olive oil. Preheat the oven to 180°C and place the eggplants there for 20–25 minutes, until the vegetables acquire an even golden brown crust.

At this time, fry the minced meat in olive oil (if desired, you can add salt and pepper). After about 10 minutes, add tomato paste to the minced meat. Bring the mixture to a boil and remove from heat.

Place some of the eggplants in a baking dish, then cover them with tomato-meat sauce, sprinkle with 50 grams of mozzarella and place the eggplants on top again. If the shape is small and there is a lot of filling, you can make several layers. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella on top and place in the oven (200°C) for 10–15 minutes (the cheese should melt).

Spaghetti dressing

Eggplants can not only replace pasta, but also complement it perfectly. For example, you can use them to make vegetable spaghetti sauce.

Ingredients:

  • 800 g eggplants;
  • 500 g spaghetti;
  • 400 g tomatoes;
  • 4 cloves of garlic;
  • olive oil;
  • basil;
  • salt and pepper to taste.

Preparation

For this recipe, the eggplants must first be baked in the oven. This will take about an hour: you need the vegetables to become soft. While the eggplants are baking, boil the spaghetti. Remove the eggplants from the oven, let them cool slightly, and then carefully remove the skins.

Finely chop the garlic and fry in heated olive oil for two minutes. Then add the tomatoes cut into large cubes. Simmer until almost all the liquid has evaporated. At the end of cooking, add the diced eggplants, salt and pepper to taste. Serve with spaghetti. The dish can be sprinkled with chopped basil.

Cutlets

Ingredients:

  • 3 small eggplants;
  • 400 g chum salmon fillet or other sea fish of your choice;
  • 100 g hard cheese;
  • 100 g butter;
  • 2 tomatoes;
  • 1 onion;
  • salt and herbs to taste.

Preparation

Cut off the stems of the eggplants and cut the eggplants lengthwise to create “boats” (3 eggplants = 6 boats). Do not remove the skin - it will preserve the shape of the vegetables and the appearance of the dish. Cut the fish and tomatoes into small cubes; if desired, you can first remove the skin from the tomatoes. Finely chop the onion.

Place the eggplant boats on a greased baking sheet. Inside each of them we put fish, tomatoes, onions and a little butter. Salt, pepper and sprinkle with herbs to your taste. Then sprinkle each serving with grated cheese. Place the eggplants in a well-heated oven for 30–50 minutes. You can eat this dish with a spoon, scraping the pulp from the walls of the eggplant.

In a separate bowl prepare the dressing. Mix red wine vinegar, mustard and chopped oregano. Add liquid honey and olive oil. Let the mixture brew for a bit, and then season the salad with it. Salt, pepper, garnish with lemon slices and parsley sprigs.

This is an easy summer snack. Eggplants prepared according to this recipe are lean, tender on the inside and with a crispy cheese crust on the outside.

Ingredients:

  • 500 g eggplants;
  • 150 g hard cheese;
  • 1 egg;
  • 100 g breadcrumbs;
  • 3–4 cloves of garlic;
  • olive oil;
  • salt, ground black pepper, paprika and turmeric to taste.

Preparation

Cut the eggplants into strips about 3 centimeters thick and add salted water to remove the bitterness. After drying the eggplant slices on a paper towel, place them in a bowl, sprinkle with olive oil and sprinkle with spices (salt, pepper, paprika, turmeric, garlic pressed through a press). Leave for 5–10 minutes.

At this time, grate the cheese and mix it with breadcrumbs. In a separate bowl, beat the egg.

Place baking paper on a baking sheet and preheat the oven to 200°C. Dip each slice of eggplant first in the egg, and then in a mixture of cheese and crackers and place on a baking sheet. Cook the sticks in the oven for about 20 minutes. You can eat them both hot and cold - equally delicious.

Rolls

There are many variations of eggplant rolls. Some people simply fry the vegetable, others bake it. Some use only cheese for the filling, others add carrots, mushrooms or tomatoes. We offer you the simplest cooking option.

Ingredients:

  • 500 g eggplants;
  • 100 g cream cheese;
  • 2–3 cloves of garlic;
  • olive oil for frying;
  • salt, pepper and herbs to taste.

Preparation

Cut off the tops of the eggplants and cut them into slices about a centimeter thick. After getting rid of the bitterness (see life hacks above), fry the eggplants in olive oil. Remove excess fat using a paper napkin. If you prefer baked vegetables, use the oven.

Pass the garlic through a press, finely chop the greens. Mix all this with cream cheese (if desired, add salt, pepper and other spices). Spread the cheese mixture in a thin layer on the eggplants. We wrap each plate with a roll and fasten it with a toothpick. Place the rolls on lettuce leaves and sprinkle with chopped walnuts (optional).

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil;

Cut the peeled eggplants into circles about a centimeter thick. Salt, pepper and fry on both sides in olive oil. We also cut the tomatoes into rounds. Cut the mozzarella into slices. The thickness of the cheese and tomatoes should be about a centimeter.

In a baking dish, greased with oil, we “build” towers: a circle of eggplant, a circle of tomato and a slice of cheese. Garnish each serving with basil sprigs and drizzle with balsamic vinegar. Place it all in the oven (200°C) for 15–20 minutes.

Snack "Peacock Tail"

  • 300 g tomatoes;
  • 200 g cucumbers;
  • 200 g feta cheese;
  • half a jar of olives;

Preparation

Cut the eggplants diagonally to form oval slices. Soak in salted water, rinse and dry. After this, place on a baking sheet, sprinkle with olive oil and bake for 10–15 minutes at 200 °C.

Pass the garlic through a press and mix with sour cream and feta cheese until smooth. Cut tomatoes and cucumbers into slices. It is desirable that the latter be smaller in diameter than the former. Cut the pitted olives in half.

Place the eggplants in the shape of a peacock's tail on a large oblong plate. Grease each piece with cheese mixture. Then put a circle of tomato and cucumber on them. Again, a little cheese with garlic, and finally - half an olive. It should look like the eyes on a peacock's tail.

Eggplants open up scope for culinary imagination: the list of dishes made from them can be continued for a long time. We invite you to do this in the comments. Write if you like eggplants and share your signature recipes.

Preface

Eggplant, or as it is often called by people, blue, is a favorite of many housewives. Its specific taste encourages the creation of delicious dishes and snacks. The vegetable is especially good in winter when prepared. Eggplants in tomato have a very piquant and unique taste; the process of preserving them is simple and interesting.

Required Ingredients


Eggplant comes from a noble family, so it is quite demanding in preparation. You need to know a few prerequisites before you start processing it. The peel and pulp of blueberries contain a toxic substance - solanine. It is this that gives that bitterness that sometimes scares away novice cooks. So that it does not interfere with our friendship with eggplants, they must be cut and left in salt water for half an hour. In this way, solanine will be removed, and with it the bitterness.

When choosing eggplants for preservation, be careful. It’s good when you grew the crop yourself, but what if not? We go to the market and choose according to the advice of experts. We only need fresh, green-tailed fruits. Avid summer residents recommend clicking on a vegetable: if the fingerprint immediately disappears, feel free to add it to your basket! If you happen to receive an old eggplant by mistake, be sure to remove the seeds from it. They can also ruin the taste of your dish.

Canned vegetables are very good for health; in winter they perfectly replenish vitamins and minerals. This especially applies to eggplants. You cannot eat this vegetable the way nature created it; it needs to be cooked in any case. All nutrients are perfectly preserved in blue ones even after long-term storage.

For a long time, housewives have learned to prepare eggplants in tomato, or, more simply, with tomatoes. Everyone knows and loves this gentleman: his unique, pleasant taste makes any snack original. In a duet with eggplant, the result is simply an extraordinary union, and the combination of beneficial substances of both becomes a storehouse of vitamins.

This dish is very popular not only in Russia. It is prepared with minor changes and additions in Georgia, Bulgaria and other countries. The recipe in tomato sauce attracts with the simplicity and taste of the finished product. You can eat this food immediately after preparing it or store it until the winter feast.

An important point is preparing the sauce. Blanch the tomatoes, which must be peeled in advance. What it is? Blanching is the process of boiling vegetables passed through a meat grinder. As soon as they puff, add sugar, salt and spices to taste.

Add vegetable oil last; in tomato sauce there should be 10 times less of it than tomato.

For example, if we took 3 kg of them, that means we pour 300 grams of oil. We simmer all this beauty for 30 minutes. 5 minutes before readiness, add vinegar, just a little (not for taste, but for the sake of preservation).

While the sauce is simmering, prepare the main character - the eggplant. It needs to be cut into portions. It’s best large, lengthwise or crosswise – whatever you like! Roll the finished slices in salt and leave for half an hour. Afterwards we wash them and dry them with a napkin. Place the beauties in a frying pan where a small amount of oil has already been heated, and fry until golden brown.

Now we will roll it into pre-washed and sterilized jars. We will do this in layers: blue ones - sauce - blue ones - sauce - and so on up to the hangers of the jar. Cover with a fur coat, it can be an old blanket, blanket or something similar. As soon as the workpiece has cooled naturally, we move our salad to the refrigerator for storage.

It's no secret that most eggplant preparations are quite fatty, because the cooking process includes frying in oil. Not everyone likes it. We suggest you try another recipe, it’s simple and won’t take much time. The salad turns out light, stores well, and is perfect as an addition to main dishes. The following ratio is designed for 5.5–6 liters of finished product.

We select 3 kg of eggplant, 6 carrots, 15 sweet peppers, 4 onions and 1 garlic. Now let's get to the most important part - preparing the sauce. For this, take 3 kg of tomatoes and grind them through a meat grinder. Pour 2 tbsp into the prepared mass. salt (it’s better to take coarse), 0.5 cups of sugar, pour in the same amount of vinegar. Let's not forget about refined vegetable oil - 1 glass. Mix well and boil for 10 minutes.

During this time, we peel and grate the carrots on a coarse grater. Add it to the sauce and cook for another 15 minutes. While it’s cooking, take (attention!) unpeeled eggplants and chop them coarsely. Add them to the total mass as soon as the carrots are cooked and leave for another 15 minutes. While everything is stewing, remove the seeds and cut the pepper into half rings. Again - in the pan for 15 minutes. Prepare the onion: cut it and also for 15 minutes with all the vegetables. Place the crushed garlic at the end of cooking for 3-4 minutes. While the mass is hot, place it in pre-sterilized jars. Ready!

It happens that you don’t want to prepare the sauce or time is limited. No problem! Let's take an example of tomato juice. This recipe is unique in that we will bake vegetables for it. The preparation in juice has an incredibly delicate taste and pronounced aroma.

To do this, select good fruits, preferably small, oblong-shaped ones. Wash them and put them whole in the oven - let them bake. You can determine the degree of readiness by eye: poke it with a fork, if it’s soft, it means it’s ready. Once it has cooled down a little, try to remove the skin as carefully as possible. This is necessary for the aesthetics of our future dish. You are going to surprise your dear guests with it!

Place the eggplants prepared in this way into jars. But first, as usual, we must sterilize the container. At the bottom of the container, place garlic cloves, bay leaves, and peppercorns to taste. We put the eggplants on the spices, and then we’ll make the juice. Before pouring, you need to salt it (for 1 liter - 1.5 tablespoons of salt). By the way, a store-bought product is quite suitable. But if you are not sure about store-bought juice, make your own; there are many recipes on the Internet. Filled jars also need to be heated in the oven for about 15 minutes to better preserve the product.

A similar recipe for preparing eggplants for the winter is loved by those who need something spicier and more piquant. We need the following ingredients: eggplants themselves (3 kg), half as many tomatoes (1.5 kg), bell peppers (1 kg), the same amount of onions. In the main composition, take chili peppers (2-3 pieces), some add parsley. Well, the auxiliary components: refined vegetable oil 300 grams, sugar 3 tbsp. spoons, salt 2 tbsp. spoons.

The sequence of preparing eggplant is the same: cut it, fill it with cold salted water, leave for half an hour. At this time, remove the skin from the tomatoes, having previously scalded them. Grind (blender, meat grinder, whatever you are used to). Finely chop the remaining vegetables: onion - into feathers, pepper - into strips, garlic - through a press. But we grind the hot pepper into a pulp with a blender, cutting out the core in advance.

During this time, the eggplants will be freed from bitterness, and we can remove them from the saline solution, blotting them with a towel. Send to fry in a well-heated frying pan. Let them brown well on both sides. Place the finished circles in a handy bowl.

And add the onions to the oil in which the blue ones were fried. Ready for the eggplants! We fry the peppers there and add them to the onions and eggplants. Salt the vegetables and mix. Add spices to purchased tomato puree: sugar, salt, chili pepper. Place on low heat and gradually evaporate excess liquid. At the end of stewing, you can add greens.

We place all future contents in layers in clean, sterilized jars. A layer of vegetables, then fill 2 fingers with juice, vegetables again, and so on. There should be a tomato on top. Cover the jars with lids (do not roll them up!) and place in a water bath for 30–40 minutes. This is how we pasteurize the jars. Only after this process do we take the machine and tighten it. Turn over and wrap until completely cool.

In addition to the traditional ones listed above, there are recipes for real gourmets. Eggplants preserved in adjika stand out in this row. This dish is different in that it contains neither vinegar nor tomato paste. Thanks to this, it retains the aroma of summer, and more nutrients. Another attractive nuance: to make the appetizer easier to digest, we will not fry the main component, we will immediately simmer it in adjika.

So, we will need: 5 kg eggplant, 3 kg tomato, 3 kg red sweet pepper, half a kilo of garlic, 1 piece of hot pepper, salt, sugar, ground black pepper, bay leaf to taste, a glass of vegetable oil. We clean, cut and wash everything. While the eggplants are soaking, prepare the adjika. Grind the garlic in a meat grinder and put it aside to wait for its time. Then peppers and tomatoes

Let the peppers and tomatoes simmer over low heat and add all the spices to the adjika. Boil and stir continuously. When the adjika boils, add the chopped eggplants. Boil the whole mass over low heat for about half an hour. Then add garlic. Place the finished mixture into jars and sterilize for 15 minutes. Further according to the scenario: turn it over, wrap it, cool it, put it in the refrigerator.

On the eve of the canning season, every housewife is going to make eggplant preparations for the winter. After all, during the season, vegetables for canning cost pennies, and in winter it’s so nice to open a jar of eggplant for, or just for dinner.

In addition, making your own eggplant preparations is a guarantee of natural and healthy food. After all, canned food manufacturers “sin” to mix in preservatives and dyes so that their products can be stored longer and retain their presentation.
