Ingredients for aubergines in Greek

Let’s cut a large eggplant into equal-thickness circles – a millimeter 3-4, not thicker.

Cut the eggplant

Put the cut aubergines in a bowl and fill them with salt water, the water should be very salty. This is necessary in order for all the bitterness of eggplant to go away. Let’s leave the eggplant in the water for 15 minutes, and prepare the tomato sauce ourselves.

Tomatoes can be sanded, and can be cut and peeled. Petrushka chop finely, just chop the garlic with a knife.

Cut tomatoes, herbs and garlic

Put tomatoes in the frying pan.

Now it’s the spice and seasoning line. Add salt and sugar (put more sugar if tomatoes are sour). Also we put aromatic basil, oregano and thyme.

Sprinkle salt, sugar and spices

Put the frying pan on the fire and simmer the sauce for about 20 minutes, stirring until the pieces of tomatoes become soft and practically turn into mashed potatoes. The sauce is ready. If you want to punch it in the blender to homogeneity, we love that the pieces of tomatoes in the sauce are felt, so I just crush the tomato pieces with a fork.

Extinguish the sauce

Eggplant we take out of water and we dry with a paper kitchen towel. We roll every eggplant circle in flour.

In a frying pan with the addition of olive oil fry the eggplants until soft and crispy. We spread fried eggplants on a paper towel to get rid of excess oil.
