Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to stew eggplants with vegetables? Prepare all the necessary ingredients. Take young, medium-sized eggplants and zucchini. Choose tomatoes that are juicy but firm. Soft fruits do not hold their shape well; during cutting and cooking, they will spread into a shapeless mass and spoil the appearance of the dish. Peppers taste better with fleshy walls.

Step 2

Step 2
Wash the eggplants and zucchini, dry, remove the stems. Remove large seeds and hard skin, if any, from the zucchini. Cut everything into small cubes.

Step 3

Step 3
Try to cut all vegetables into pieces of the same size and shape so that the finished dish looks neat. Wash the bell pepper, remove the stem and seeds, and chop.

Step 4

Step 4
Wash the tomato, remove the stem and chop.

Step 5

Step 5
Take a wide frying pan, with a diameter of 24-26 cm, so that all the ingredients can fit comfortably. I took a smaller frying pan, which made it inconvenient to stir the vegetables. Heat a frying pan over high heat, pour oil into it. When the oil is hot, turn the heat down a little and add the eggplants to the pan. Fry, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned. It took me about 4 minutes. The articles below will help you choose a frying pan and oil.

Step 6

Step 6
Then add the zucchini, pepper and 2-3 tablespoons of hot water. Little water is needed. So much so that the vegetables are stewed and not burnt, but do not float in the water. This way they will cook quickly and at the same time.

Step 7

Step 7
Mix everything and simmer for about 3-4 minutes over medium heat until the zucchini becomes soft. Check the softness carefully with a fork. Don’t miss this moment and don’t overcook the vegetables on the fire, otherwise they will fall apart and lose their appearance and taste.

Step 8

Step 8
Add chopped tomato. Mix everything, add salt and herbs. Simmer for a few more minutes.
