Eggplant in a frying pan - general cooking principles

In addition to the fact that salt will draw out the bitterness from the vegetable, it will make the eggplants more elastic. When frying, slices treated in this way will absorb much less oil.

Eggplants in a frying pan - tricks and useful tips

Eggplants should only be fried in hot oil. If it is not heated enough, the slices will stick to the bottom.

For frying in a pan, young eggplants with delicate skin are preferred. Such vegetables are less bitter, and it is not necessary to cut off the skin from them.

Overripe specimens are peeled in any case. To make it easier to remove, you can scald the “little blue” ones with boiling water.

If the body or tip of the eggplant is covered with dark, unsightly spots, this vegetable should not be eaten.

Fried eggplants absorb a large amount of fat, so be sure to blot them with napkins. If you use old, rancid or simply low-quality oil, you can ruin the taste and smell of eggplants.

How to cook blue ones? Before answering the question posed, it is necessary to clarify what this term generally means. The fact is that this is what many housewives affectionately call eggplants. In this regard, in a further article we decided to also use this word.

General information about the vegetable

Before we talk about how to cook blue ones, we should tell you what such a product actually is. Eggplant is a fairly common vegetable in our country. It can be pickled, boiled, stewed, fried and even baked. However, it should be noted that such a vegetable is often bitter. To get rid of the unpleasant taste, you need to cut it into the desired slices and then soak it in salted water for half an hour (there should be about 2 salts per 1 glass of liquid). As a result of such actions, all bitterness should disappear from the eggplant. But before using it, be sure to rinse it in clean water. Otherwise, you risk getting an oversalted dish.

How to cook blue ones with garlic and cheese?

Eggplant is a versatile vegetable that makes not only a tasty second course or winter preparation, but also a regular snack. To prepare it, we will need:

  • high-calorie sour cream mayonnaise - 110-120 g;
  • young and not very large eggplants - 3-5 pcs.;
  • garlic cloves - 2-4 pcs.;
  • wheat flour - a glass (for rolling the product).

Pre-treatment of blue vegetable

After studying the recipe for how to cook blueberries with garlic, you should carefully process all the vegetables. They need to be washed and then cut lengthwise into not very thick plates. Next, it is recommended to soak the eggplants in salt water in order to remove their bitterness as much as possible.

Making a delicious cheese and garlic filling

How to cook blue ones deliciously so that you can safely serve them as a flavorful snack? To do this, you need to grate the garlic cloves, either hard or on a small grater, and then mix them together with finely chopped herbs and sour cream mayonnaise. As a result, you should have a fairly thick paste. If it turns out too liquid, then you need to add a little more grated cheese. Otherwise, the filling may go beyond the appetizer.

Frying vegetables in sunflower oil

Remembering how delicious it is to cook blue ones as a flavorful snack, you should fry the eggplant slices well. They need to be rolled in flour and then processed in a frying pan, after pouring vegetable oil into it. To get rid of excess fat after heat treatment, it is recommended to place vegetables on paper towels and keep them in this state for several minutes. If this is not done, the appetizer may turn out too oily.

The process of forming a hot dish

How to cook blue ones, or rather, a snack from them? To do this, place plates of fried eggplant on a flat plate, and then spread the thick filling over them. Next, the vegetable must be wrapped in a roll, and so that it does not open, it should be placed on a skewer. The rest of the appetizer must be arranged in a similar manner.

How to present it beautifully to guests?

Now you know how to cook blue ones with garlic filling. To present such an appetizer to the dinner table, you need to place it on a flat dish, which is recommended to be lined with fresh green salad leaves in advance.

  • fresh dill - several sprigs;
  • onion - 1 small piece;
  • hard or processed cheese - 80-90 g;
