Pour vegetable oil over the eggplants and let them stand for 10-15 minutes so that they absorb the vegetable oil. For 1 kg of eggplants you need 80 grams of vegetable oil. Believe me, it’s not much oil at all. If you fried the eggplants in a frying pan, it would take much more oil.

That’s it, our eggplants are ready. All that’s left is to make a sauce with which to serve them.

Our family loves eggplants with garlic mayonnaise and herbs. Of the greens I take dill, parsley and cilantro. I usually dilute mayonnaise with sour cream to give the sauce a slight sourness and tenderness.
