From the point of view of nutritionists, fried blue ones are on the side of evil, somewhere between an Olivier basin and fries. But that's only because they don't know how to cook them properly! And you, too, do not deny yourself the pleasure! I will tell you how to fry eggplants in a pan is simple, quick and tasty, so that they practically do not absorb high-calorie and not entirely healthy oil. 4 useful tips and 3 proven recipes for making delicious blue ones.

How to fry eggplants so they don't burn and absorb a lot of oil

During frying, any vegetables absorb fat. But especially nightshades. Pieces of blue, like a sponge, absorb vegetable oil, which greatly increases the calorie content of the dish and, alas, does not add to its usefulness. And if you pour less fat, then the vegetable will burn, it will turn out dry, tough, tasteless. The good news is that there are a few tricks that can help you avoid all of these problems. At the same time, the blue ones will turn out delicious, fried, soft, with a ruddy crust on top.

1. An important stage of preparation is getting rid of the bitter taste. Before frying, sprinkle the sliced ​​eggplants with coarse or medium-sized table salt. Stir. Let stand for 20-30 minutes. The vegetables will let the juice go, with which all the bitterness will go away. To speed up the process, put oppression. Rinse the blue ones. Squeeze out. Dry with paper towels to remove moisture.
2. To help the eggplant absorb a minimum of fat when frying, do not pour oil directly into the pan. Better add it to the blue ones (after filling with salt, rinsing and wringing out). Stir with your hands to distribute the fat evenly over the vegetable pieces. Fry in a dry skillet.
3. Another way to significantly reduce calorie content is to grease eggplant slices or a frying pan using a cooking brush or a special spray bottle. A thin layer of fat will keep the food from burning, but it won't have a big impact on your total calories either.
4. Good news for microwave oven owners. Bring the vegetable to half-cooked in the microwave (5-7 minutes at a power of about 900 watts). He must let in the liquid and soak in it. And you can fry, consuming only 2-4 tablespoons of oil per kilogram of the main ingredient. Add fat (in small amounts) directly to the pan. The slices simply won't absorb it as the pores will close. Please note that the blue ones need to be prepared in advance (see point # 1). Don't have a microwave? Use a double boiler for this purpose.

How to cook fried eggplant

Fried eggplant dishes are very popular. Before frying eggplant, you need to know the most important secret of this purple vegetable. It lies in the fact that, due to the content of solanine in fruits, eggplants have a bitter taste, which is easy to get rid of. To do this, before cooking, the cut eggplants are placed for a while in water with the addition of salt. Then they are squeezed out and cooked according to the selected recipe.

To prepare fried eggplants, cut the peeled fruits into slices and get rid of the bitterness as described above. Dip the resulting circles in flour and fry in a pan with heated vegetable oil. When frying, the slices are turned over so that they cook evenly. After removing from the pan, put the eggplants on a dish, sprinkle with finely chopped garlic and herbs.

If the eggplants are young, with a delicate skin, then you may not need to peel it before cooking. Chopped slices, soaked in salted water and dried, dipped in a beaten egg and spread in a preheated pan with vegetable oil. Finished circles, laid out on a dish, are spread on top with a mixture of mayonnaise and crushed garlic, then put on a slice of tomato.

How to combine eggplant with tomatoes and other vegetables

How to fry eggplant with other foods? To cook eggplant with tomatoes, take two medium-sized fruits, one hundred grams of strong tomatoes, two tablespoons each of flour and sunflower oil, garlic, parsley, and ground black pepper. Cut the peeled eggplants into slices about a centimeter thick. To eliminate bitterness, sprinkle vegetable slices with salt and stand for ten minutes. The juice released during this flows down along with the bitterness. Fry the slices breaded in flour until golden brown. Fry the tomato slices in a second skillet. Put eggplants on a dish, tomatoes on top, and on them crushed garlic and finely chopped greens.

To prepare eggplants, fried in Uzbek, you will need one kilogram of eggplants, onions and tomatoes, half a kilogram of sweet pepper, one and a half liters of sunflower oil, cilantro. Having eliminated the bitterness in one of the ways described above, fry the eggplant slices until a crust forms. Sauté the tomatoes, peppers and onions, chopped into rings, separately. Layer eggplants, tomatoes, onions, peppers in a saucepan or deep bowl. Repeat layers until you run out of vegetables. Add a little vegetable oil to a container filled with vegetables, sprinkle with ground pepper, simmer for half an hour over low heat. Put the finished dish in a salad bowl and sprinkle with herbs.

Recipes for cooking fried eggplants can be improved and changed at your discretion, which will allow you to diversify the menu and get new tasty and healthy dishes every time.

Good day. I saw eggplants on sale today in vegetable rows. And I immediately wanted to try them. They have not yet grown on their beds, and it is not rational to make from purchased ones.

And today I want to review my favorite way to fry eggplant: with garlic. I believe that this is just the perfect couple, which very successfully sets off each other's tastes.

I also like that eggplants can be cooked both as an appetizer and as a delicious side dish. And we'll look at both options.

How to fry eggplant quickly and tasty

Let's start with the easiest frying method, without any additional elements. Only blue and garlic. Well, greenery for beauty.

Young pitted fruits are best suited for frying. Overripe, with mature seeds, are best used for winter harvesting.

Ingredients:

• Eggplant - 2 medium
• Garlic - 4-5 cloves
• Parsley - a bunch
• Vegetable oil for frying

Preparation:

1. Frying has one characteristic that requires a slightly different approach than other cooking methods. Namely, you need to avoid a large amount of oil absorbed by the vegetable. There is a simple trick for this: cut the blue ones into thick rings (1 cm thick) and place them in salted water for 1 hour.

We add salt at the rate of 1 tablespoon per 1 liter of water.

Thus, the intercellular space will be filled with liquid and there will be much less fat to absorb during frying.

But before cooking, the rings, of course, will need to be squeezed well and dried with a paper towel.

2. Grate the garlic or finely chop it. Chop greens and mix with garlic.

3. Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan, put on medium heat and put the rings in the pan. We fry for 3-4 minutes on one side and the same amount on the other. We achieve a golden crust.

4. Put the finished eggplants on a paper napkin so that the excess oil is absorbed and immediately sprinkle them with garlic and herbs, so that when they come into contact with the still hot vegetable, they themselves start up the aroma.

It is best to eat hot. Bon Appetit!

Classic recipe with mayonnaise

And one more simple recipe from the category of classic. In our family, we usually cook this way. This is a great appetizer to go with any other meal.

Ingredients:

• Blue - 4 pieces of medium size
• Flour - 100 gr
• Salt - 1 tsp
• Garlic - 1 head
• Mayonnaise - 150 g

Preparation:

1. Very often it is recommended to pre-sprinkle the eggplants with salt so that they let the juice out and bitterness comes out of them. I don't know about you, but it seems to me that this recommendation is outdated. I remember that in childhood they really tasted bitter, but now this is no longer there. Maybe other steel grades?

Be that as it may, I have not done this for a long time, and the taste does not suffer. Moreover, eggplants sprinkled with salt, having let the juice, become too soft and shriveled. For frying, this is not very good.

So just cut the vegetables into rings and fry them in a pan with vegetable oil, after dipping them in a mixture of flour and salt.

2. Fry over medium heat for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.

3. Pass the garlic through a press or rub it on a fine grater and mix with mayonnaise. Lubricate all the rings with the resulting sauce.

Done. Bon Appetit!

3. First soak the eggplant plates in a bowl with beaten eggs, crushing them on both sides.

4. And then dump them in flour mixed with salt.

5. And fry in vegetable oil over medium heat until golden brown. Just a couple of minutes on each side.

6. Then put them on a plate and sprinkle with herbs and garlic.

2. Then fry them over medium heat for 2 minutes on each side.

You don't need to add oil to the pan in this recipe.

3. Prepare the cheese filling by grating the cheese on a fine grater, adding garlic to it, passed through a press, and mixing everything with mayonnaise.

4. Now put one fried plate on the table, spread the filling on the edge, about the size of a teaspoon, and wrap the roll. If necessary, fix it with a toothpick.

Fried eggplants with onions and garlic

And finally, one more excellent recipe in a short but informative video.

Thanks for attention.

From mid-summer to the end of autumn, nature pampers us with a large eggplant harvest. And rarely did anyone not eat dishes from them. And already how many delicious cooking methods exist, fried and baked, stuffed and rolled teak.

In terms of popularity, this vegetable occupies no less place than, for example, bell peppers. But the only thing that sometimes worries housewives is how to cook this product without losing its shape and taste.

Since eggplants only need to be fully ripe to cook, so that they are soft enough and with a light skin.

The longer the vegetable grows, the more it accumulates a natural substance - solanine. And it is very dangerous for the human body.

You can check its amount in a very simple way. Cut off the fruit ring and see how much it darkens. Dark brown indicates a high solanine content, and light brown indicates a low hazardous substance content.

With a high content of solanine, you need to salt the slices of the sliced ​​fruit well and let it stand for thirty minutes. Then drain the separated juice. It will remove all toxic substances and, along with them, an unpleasant bitterness.
