How to prepare eggplant caviar for the winter
We start cooking by cutting the eggplants into cubes.
First wash them and cut off the unnecessary tail. You can peel the peel, or you can cook with it.The skin gives a certain bitterness, which many even like. Therefore, decide for yourself whether to remove the skin from eggplants or not.
Fry these eggplant cubes in a lot of oil. Do not overcook them, otherwise this may negatively affect the taste of the product.
In a blender bowl, prepare the carrot-onion mixture for the eggplants. To do this, peel the carrots and onions and chop them into small cubes.
Add the carrot-onion mixture to the eggplants. We fry the ingredients of the future snack for another 7-10 minutes.
Blanch the tomatoes.
This is important so that the hated dense skins do not spoil the consistency of our dish for the winter. Dip the tomato fruits into boiling water, then peel them.
We salt, sugar and pepper our preserves.
Chop the tomato pulp and place it in a frying pan.
Fry the tomatoes with the remaining ingredients until fully cooked, 15-20 minutes.
In the meantime, wash the jars and sterilize, don’t forget to sterilize the lids too.
Fill the jars with eggplant caviar and roll up the lids.
This eggplant caviar is stored well in a cool room. But if you are saving the preparations in a warm apartment, then still make sure that the jars do not swell during storage. If this happens, then know that you should not eat such preserved food.
