How to cook:
1. First of all, take care of the eggplant. Rinse the vegetables, cut off the tails. Cut the eggplant into medium slices. Salt and leave for 10-15 minutes to release the bitterness.
2. Heat a little oil in a frying pan, fry the eggplant for 5-6 minutes. Stir to brown the vegetables.
Add oil to the pan if necessary, as eggplant absorbs a lot of oil when fried.
3. Peel the onion and cut into half rings.
4. Fry the onion in the remaining oil. Let it become transparent slightly golden.
5. Put the fried vegetables in a deep salad bowl. Squeeze the garlic through a press.
6. Cut the tomatoes into medium slices.
Tomatoes choose juicy ripe and sweet. The salad will be much tastier.
7. Remove the seeds from the sweet pepper and cut the vegetables into strips. Cut hot red pepper into small pieces.
8. Add chopped tomatoes to the salad.
9. Also add sweet and hot peppers. The salad will be very flavorful.
10. Throw in finely chopped parsley. If you like cilantro, you can use it instead of parsley.
11. Mix the salad well, add salt and black pepper to taste. Do not add any more oil, as the fried vegetables contain a sufficient amount of fat. Fresh vegetables give the dish a bright color and appetizing look. Ready.
Serve immediately. The salad is very tasty, spicy and spicy.
Bon appetit!
