Description
If you feel that the vegetables are not releasing enough juice during the cooking process (it should cover the vegetables almost all the time until step 7), constantly add a little water. This dish can be served as a side to meat dishes, as a standalone salad-type appetizer, or spread on bread as a caviar.
Ingredients
- Eggplants - 7 pieces
- Tomatoes - 5 pieces
- Onion - 2 heads
- Pickled Apples - 2 pieces
- Turnips - 4 pieces
- Salt - to taste
- Vegetable Oil - 3 tablespoons
Step by Step guide
Step 1
Peel the eggplants and cut them into large cubes.
Step 2
Pour water into a large bowl or pot, add a tablespoon of salt. Place all the cut eggplants into the salted water so that the water completely covers them. For convenience, cover with a lid. This helps to prevent the eggplants from 'floating'. Leave the eggplants in the water for 1 hour. The salted water will draw out all the bitterness from the eggplants.
Step 3
After the eggplants have soaked, peel and grate the carrots. It is best to use a regular large grater.
Step 4
Finely chop the onion.
Step 5
Heat vegetable (or olive) oil in a large deep frying pan with high sides. Add the carrots and onion to the pan. Sauté until soft.
Step 6
Add the eggplants to the carrots and onion. Sauté everything together until the eggplants and onion are golden brown. Make sure the onion remains light and does not burn.
Step 7
Chop the tomatoes coarsely and sprinkle with salt. Add the tomatoes to the pan. Stir. Reduce the heat to medium and cover with a lid. The mixture should stew in its own juice.
Step 8
While everything is stewing, grate the 2 previously peeled sweet apples. Add them to the other vegetables and mix well. Cover again with a lid.
Step 9
Stew covered over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 1 hour until you achieve a homogeneous mass resembling a puree.
Step 10
After an hour, remove the lid and stew until the excess juice evaporates a bit, turning into a sauce.
Step 11
Cool the vegetables in the refrigerator. Then they will become a complete dish.
