Greek eggplant is an excellent preservation that you can safely roll up now. The vegetables come out slightly spicy to taste, but you can make them very spicy, for this you just need to add more garlic. When choosing eggplant, you should give preference to vegetables that are not large in size. So after cooking, they will easily fit in a jar and there will be no difficulties. If the vegetables are large, it is unlikely that they will come out neatly placed in a jar.
Carrots, bell peppers and garlic are the vegetables that you need for the eggplant filling. You can also add some others besides them, for example, onions and hot peppers. The eggplants themselves can be boiled in lightly salted water or baked in the oven, if this option is more acceptable. Just wrap them in foil when baking. It is best to roll vegetables in jars that are not large in volume. So fit – 1 liter or 0.5 liter jars. Store ready-made eggplant in Greek in a cool place. If you live in a house, then the cellar is ideal.
