Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
Peel the carrots and cut into medium-sized cubes. Peel the onions and chop them not very finely. Wash the sweet pepper, cut off the top, remove the core and cut into medium-sized cubes. All prepared vegetables should be approximately the same size after cutting.

Step 2

Step 2
Wash the eggplants, cut off the top and tail and cut into cubes the same size as carrots, onions and peppers. Place the chopped eggplants in a bowl, sprinkle them with salt, stir and let stand for 30 minutes to release their juice. Bitterness should come out along with the juice. Then transfer the eggplants to a colander, rinse and let drain.

Step 3

Step 3
Pour the required amount of vegetable oil into the frying pan, let it warm up and add the prepared onions, carrots and bell peppers. Fry over medium heat with stirring for 15 minutes.
