How to salt eggplants in jars for the winter.

For clarity and clarity of the preparation process, the recipe is step-by-step. And so, having selected small ripe eggplants for cooking, the first thing to do is wash them.

Then, we cut off the stalks of our vegetables and prick them with a fork in several places. This must be done so that the bitterness comes out during cooking.

The eggplants prepared in this way must be boiled in lightly salted water for about 3-5 minutes. Remember, they should not be overcooked.

Next, I usually put the boiled eggplants on the sink near the sink, put a cutting board on top of them and put pressure on it. I put down a bottle of water.

While the unnecessary bitter liquid flows out of them, we can prepare the remaining components of our homemade preparation.

Peel the carrots and grate them on a grater, either large or for Korean carrots.

We also peel the garlic and then chop it.

A bunch of parsley needs to be washed and finely chopped.

Now, we need to stuff our little blue ones. To do this, we make a cut in each eggplant from the side of the removed stalk, but without cutting to the end of the vegetable. Place a little carrot, garlic and parsley in each cut. And then we wrap the eggplant with thread so that the filling does not spill out.

The blue ones stuffed with vegetables should be placed in a three-liter jar.

Then, we will dissolve salt in water, fill the eggplants with brine and cover with a nylon lid.

To begin fermentation, we leave our preparation in a warm place for three days, and then put it in a cold cellar for storage.

Serve the spicy, garlicky, salted eggplants with carrots by cutting them into slices (after removing the strings from the vegetables). It wouldn’t hurt to pour some sunflower oil over the blueberry appetizer and sprinkle with onion rings.
