Such an original appetizer simply cannot leave guests indifferent. It combines taste and a beautiful festive look, which will undoubtedly decorate the table for any celebration. In addition, this dish is easy to prepare.
It is necessary
- - 1-2 large eggplants
- - 1 cucumber
- - tomatoes 3 pieces (the diameter should be no more than the thickness of the eggplant)
- - cheese (you can cheese) 150-200 grams
- - garlic 2 cloves
- - olives
- - flour
- - mayonnaise
- - salt
- - vegetable oil
Instructions
Step 1
Eggplants are cut diagonally, 1 centimeter thick. Then the eggplant mugs need to be salted and left for 15-20 minutes until they let the juice out. Then the liquid is simply drained, and the mugs are wiped off with a napkin.
Step 2
Roll the eggplant slices in flour and fry in a hot frying pan in vegetable oil on both sides until a beautiful golden crust is formed. When frying eggplants, they absorb a lot of oil, and therefore you need to pour more of it. The vegetables themselves will absorb the required amount. After frying, they should be laid out on a napkin to remove excess oil.
Step 3
Prepare the cheese mass. To do this, you need to grate the cheese (it can be coarse, it can be fine), if the cheese is soft, like feta cheese, then it can be crushed with a fork. Squeeze the garlic through a press and mix together with cheese and mayonnaise.
Step 4
Cut the cucumbers and tomatoes as diagonally as the eggplants. The olives are cut in half lengthwise.
Step 5
When everything is ready, we proceed to the design of the "feathers". Each eggplant circle is coated with cheese paste. A tomato circle is laid on it, a cucumber plastic on top and a half of an olive will complete the composition.
Step 6
It remains to put the "feathers" on a large platter in the form of a tail. It will be more convenient to start spreading from the bottom row. On the sides, the dish can be decorated with herbs.
