- 100 gr. honey
- 1 tsp salt

How to cook eggplants for the winter “Ogonyok”:
For this recipe I chose small eggplants, so that you get small rings that will not fall apart during frying, and that will be convenient to pick up with a fork, as my grandmother says, “by the tooth.”
Wash the eggplants, wipe with a napkin and cut into rings 0.5-0.7 cm thick.
Since frying 1.5 kg of eggplant is a thankless task, even in two frying pans, even with a powerful hood, I decided to simplify this process. We will bake the eggplants in the oven, which will not affect the final result in any way. By the way, this method uses much less oil, and baked eggplants are much healthier than fried ones. Grease a baking tray generously with vegetable oil and lay out the eggplant mugs.
Then we brush the eggplants on top with a brush so that there are no white areas, and put them in the oven, preheated to 200 degrees. Keep the eggplants in the oven until cooked, about 20-25 minutes. If your oven does not have top heat, you will need to turn the eggplants over.
From 1.5 kg of eggplants I got exactly three baking sheets measuring 50*50 cm.
When the eggplants are covered golden crust, take them out of the oven and carefully place them on a plate so as not to damage the rings.
Now let’s prepare our “Spark”:
Wash the red bell pepper, remove the seeds and cut it so that it is convenient to load it into a meat grinder. We also prepare garlic and red hot pepper.
We pass all the vegetables through a meat grinder to get homogeneous mass"grains".
Add honey, salt and vinegar to the twisted vegetable mass. Mix. Be sure to taste the salt, you may need to add salt to taste.
We need sterile jars and lids for this recipe, so have them ready in advance.
Now we place the eggplants with adjika in jars in layers: 1 layer of eggplant + 1 tablespoon of adjika.
Then pour cold water up to the shoulders of the jars, cover with boiled lids and place on the stove. Bring this entire structure to a boil and let stand for 15 minutes.
