stewed eggplant with vegetables Eggplants appeared in our homelandrelatively recently. And they came to cooking with recipes from Europe. Some of these recipes have adapted to our tastes, but something has remained unchanged. And something, remaining unchanged, just got a new name. For example, you know that eggplant caviar is nothing more than a French ratatouille - stewed eggplant with vegetables. This is perhaps the most famous of all the options for preparing eggplant in this way. But there are other, no less interesting recipes. However, we will start with ratatouille or with eggplant caviar - as you like.

Ratatouille

A very tasty dish is easy and satisfying at the same time. Ratatouille is known in several interpretations, including our domestic eggplant caviar. Ingredients:

In the frying pan pour oil, we heat it and fry the onion in butter until it turns golden. Add finely chopped garlic and fry another couple of minutes. Then put the eggplants, peppers, zucchini in the brazier, season with pepper and salt and leave to stew for about ten to fifteen minutes under the closed lid. Next, add tomatoes and basil to the vegetables and continue to simmer the vegetables in an open pan for ten minutes. We serve the dish in hot or cold. But the cold ratatouille is much tastier! Note: If zucchini substitute carrots and do not put garlic and basil in the dish, then the eggplant caviar traditional for our cuisine will turn out. Eggplant stewed with vegetables
