How to cook deliciously - Grandpa's appetizer
1 . Stage
It's very simple. It's faster to do than to write a recipe. Wash the vegetables. Bake bell peppers in a 230 ° C oven for 25-30 minutes until brown. We need fleshy peppers, any color you like, this time I have yellow. Half a kilo of peppers is two medium-sized peppers.
2 . Stage
Boil whole eggplants in water for about 10-20 minutes from the boil. Half a kilo of eggplants is three small or two big ones. Large bubble eggplants will need 20 minutes. To avoid bitterness, prick them in several places with a fork. Smaller eggplant bunches will take 15 minutes to cook. As for the long ones - which, by the way, are the most delicious as appetizers - 10 minutes will be enough. You do not have to prick them with a fork, young eggplants are not usually bitter. Eggplants should become soft but should not turn into a mousse - do not overcook! When time is up, take the eggplants out, let them cool a bit, and then chop them up roughly when they are hot. We put slices of eggplant in a colander or sieve, salt well and put on top of a small oppressor, for example, a liter jar of cucumbers. Leave to drain for 20 minutes.
3 . Stage
Put the baked bell peppers for five minutes in a container with a lid, plastic bag or other, so that then the skin comes off easier. Under a stream of cold running water, free the pepper from the skin. Put in a bowl, let peppers cool, pour off accumulated liquid. And cut in large pieces in the manner of eggplant.
4 . Stage
The tambourine dance is over. We mix the vegetables, dress them with two teaspoons of lean oil and two teaspoons of 5% vinegar - wine, apple or white balsamic vinegar, as I have. We chop the garlic as finely as possible - a quarter of a clove is enough for us, then its flavor is present, but not dominant. You put it to taste.
5 . Stage
Also finely chop the parsley - 3 g is a couple or three sprigs.
6 . Stage
Check the appetizer for salt and - MUST - let it stand. I leave it overnight. Serve as an appetizer as desired, as a bruschetta on toasted bread, as a side dish to chicken or turkey. It will be delicious both ways!
