Step-by-step preparation of fried eggplants with garlic and mayonnaise, recipe with photo:
1. Wash the eggplants, dry and cut into 5 mm rings. I recommend soaking eggplants in a saturated salt solution for about half an hour before cooking. Firstly, when frying, eggplants actively absorb oil, and accumulated moisture weakens this process. Secondly, the saline solution draws out the characteristic bitterness from the fruit. To bake them, just sprinkle the pieces with salt and let them sit for 10 minutes. After these procedures, the eggplants need to be washed and squeezed.
2. Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan and add eggplant pieces. The heat of the pan and oil should be as high as possible so that the sides of the eggplants brown quickly. If you cook on low flame, the eggplant will absorb a lot of oil. Fry the fruits on one side until golden crust. Afterwards, salt and pepper them. Turn over and cook on the other side until done.
3. Place pieces of fried eggplant on a dish and season them with garlic passed through a press.
4. Pour mayonnaise over them and sprinkle with chopped dill. The fat content of mayonnaise depends on your preferences. But it’s better to take low-calorie mayonnaise, because... fried eggplants are already quite greasy.
Serve the finished appetizer warm or chilled.

Very tasty stewed eggplants. Step-by-step preparation
- Let's start with eggplants. When you buy them, pay attention to the color: it should be even, without brown spots. Also, there should be no wrinkles or soft spots on the vegetable itself and the stalk. If these conditions are met, you have chosen proper eggplants and you can cook from them.
- You need to wash the vegetable, cut off the top with the stalk and cut into cubes. When done, pour in salted water, then the eggplants will be saturated with liquid and will not absorb vegetable oil when stewing. Let it sit like this for about half an hour.
- Let's move on to the rest of the vegetables. Let's take carrots. Clean, wash and grate on a medium grater.
- We clean and wash the onions. To make cooking without tears, you need to leave the dry tail of the onion uncut. Then the onion will not sting your eyes, and you will feel comfortable holding it. First cut in half, then into strips, and then into cubes.
- Wash and cut the tomatoes. To ready dish The tomato skin did not interfere, it can be removed. To do this, pour boiling water over the tomatoes and leave for a couple of minutes. Now they are easy to clean, and the crusts will not interfere with eating the dish.
- Now you need to prepare the sweet bell pepper. Cut it in half and remove the seeds. Hide one half in the refrigerator and cut the other into cubes.
- Take a frying pan, pour a little vegetable oil and put it on the fire until it warms up well.
- Pour the onion into a hot bowl and fry until it becomes transparent.
- When the onion has reached the desired state, add grated carrots.
- Cover with a lid and simmer until half cooked, stirring occasionally.
- While the onions and carrots are stewing, prepare the garlic. We need two cloves that need to be peeled and cut. To quickly peel garlic, place it on a board and crush it with the side of the knife. After clicking, easily remove the peel and finely chop the garlic. This is a secret method that chefs use in restaurants. Garlic peeled in this way is more flavorful and easier to cut.
- I think the onions and carrots have already been stewed enough, so add tomatoes and bell peppers to the pan and stir. Sprinkle the vegetables with sugar and salt, mix again, cover with a lid and simmer for 15 minutes. While you can drink tea.
- After the measured time, add the next ingredient to the pan - eggplant. Mix. If necessary, add a little vegetable oil. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the eggplants are soft.
- Then you need to add the garlic, mix again and turn off the stove - ours stewed eggplant ready.
- When you serve, place the dish in a mound on a nice flat plate and sprinkle chopped herbs (parsley or dill) on top.

This recipe for fried eggplants with garlic can be used in two ways: the vegetables are prepared in circles or slices, and after greasing, they are wrapped in rolls.
We must pay tribute to eggplants - in themselves they do not have a special taste, but a number of products can change it, or rather, transform it, among which garlic takes an honorable first place. Eggplant with garlic is a combination of taste, aroma and benefits. And if you add cheese, vegetables to this pairing, flavor it all with mayonnaise or sour cream?
The first rule: eggplants for cooking should be taken young, with thin skin. Sluggish, too large and damaged - not for us, especially if they are not our own, from our own garden, but bought in a store.
Second rule: you definitely need to get rid of the bitterness inherent in eggplants. To do this, just let the chopped and lightly sprinkled eggplants stand for 20-30 minutes, and then simply rinse them in water and squeeze or dry with paper towels. However, there are also varieties without bitterness, long live selection!
Let's cook eggplants with garlic, and we'll start with the simplest recipes.
Fried eggplant with garlic and herbs “Simple”
Ingredients:
young eggplants,
garlic,
vegetable oil,
greens (parsley, dill),
6% table vinegar,
salt.
Preparation:
Wash the eggplants thoroughly, cut into thin slices, add salt, let stand for about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, finely chop the greens, mix it with garlic passed through a press or grated and sprinkle this mixture with vinegar. Place the eggplant slices in a colander, rinse off the salt under running water, be sure to let the excess liquid drain, lightly dry the eggplants with a napkin and fry in a frying pan with vegetable oil until golden brown. Place the fried eggplants on a napkin to remove excess oil. While they are hot, spread the prepared mixture over them, lightly sprinkle vinegar on top again and leave for 20 minutes.
To prepare the next dish, take large eggplants, but not old ones, so that the sliced circles turn out large. It is better to choose hard cheese, it gives a particularly pleasant crust
Eggplant with garlic and cheese
Ingredients:
2 eggplants,
garlic - to taste,
250-300 g hard cheese,
a little flour
mayonnaise,
a few cherry tomatoes - to decorate the dish,
vegetable oil,
sprigs of dill.
Preparation:
Wipe the washed eggplants with a clean napkin, cut into thin slices, add salt and leave for 40 minutes, or even more, so that the bitterness goes away. After this, rinse the salt with water, dry it and, after rolling each circle in flour, fry in vegetable oil. Hard cheese grate on a fine grater, pass the garlic through a press, add mayonnaise to these ingredients and mix well. It has been noticed that when preparing such a mass of mayonnaise, you have to add cheese, as if it absorbs the mayonnaise, and the mass turns out thick and somewhat dry. Or, as an option, pre-dilute the mayonnaise with cream, sour cream or natural yogurt. Place eggplant slices on a large round plate, spread the prepared mixture on them in an even layer and cover with other slices, and so on. You should get pyramids or towers of 3-4 circles. On top of each such pyramid is another layer of the mixture and half a cherry tomato, cut crosswise, next to it is a sprig of dill for decoration and aroma.
An excellent version of this recipe can be eggplant rolls: simply cut the eggplants lengthwise into slices using a sharp knife or vegetable peeler, prepare them in the usual way(salt, dry, fry), wrap the cheese-mayonnaise mixture in them and garnish with cherry tomato halves. You can put the filling inside: quarter walnut, strip of ham or smoked sausage, but who knows what else?..
When fried, eggplants absorb vegetable oil like a sponge. To somehow reduce their “appetite,” dip the eggplant slices in flour or fine breadcrumbs before frying.
Eggplants with garlic and mayonnaise
Ingredients:
2-3 eggplants,
3-4 cloves of garlic,
200 g mayonnaise,
greenery,
salt - to taste.
Preparation:
Cut the eggplants into slices, place in a bowl, add salt and leave for a while. To finally get rid of the bitterness in eggplants, some of which still remains even after the manipulations done, remove the peel from the eggplants, and the problem is solved. Pass the garlic through a press, place it in a small container and pour boiling water over it. Let it brew for 15 minutes, and in the meantime chop the greens. Drain the liquid from the garlic (however, if you like spicy dishes, then you can leave it), add mayonnaise to it and mix. The sauce should be thick. Place the eggplant slices, washed from salt and dried, in a frying pan with vegetable oil, cover the frying pan with a lid and fry over low heat for 5-7 minutes. Please note that you only need to fry the eggplants on one side. And in general, they are more likely to be stewed under a lid than fried. Take out some (preferably rectangular and large) container with a lid, place a layer of eggplants in it, pour sauce over them and generously sprinkle with herbs, then again a layer of fried eggplants, sauce, herbs, and so on to the top. Close the container with a lid and put it in the refrigerator so that the eggplants can brew, soak in the sauce and amaze you with their unique taste.
