Grilled vegetables are a great alternative to fried foods. You can cook grilled dishes both outdoors and at home using a special frying pan. Grilled eggplant with tomatoes is a tasty and healthy dish. In addition, its preparation is so simple that even a person far from cooking can cope.
It is necessary
-
- 400 g eggplant;
- 300 g of tomatoes;
- 300 g sweet pepper;
- 250 g zucchini;
- 150 g leeks;
- 1 lemon;
- 2 tbsp. l. balsamic vinegar;
- 150 ml of olive oil;
- 2 cloves of garlic;
- thyme;
- rosemary;
- parsley and dill;
- ground black pepper;
- salt.
Instructions
Step 1
Wash the lemon, cut and squeeze the juice. Add balsamic vinegar to it. Mix well, add olive oil and beat thoroughly until smooth.
Step 2
Peel the garlic and pass through a press or finely chop. Add garlic, thyme, and salt to the sauce. You can also add some pepper and rosemary leaves. Mix everything again.
Step 3
Wash the vegetables (eggplant, tomatoes, zucchini and bell peppers). For aubergines and zucchini, remove the stem bases and cut obliquely into thin slices, about 5-6 mm thick. Drizzle the eggplant and zucchini with lemon juice and olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Step 4
Cut each tomato into eight pieces, after removing the base of the stalks. Divide each pepper pod into quarters and remove any white partitions and seeds. Cut the leeks diagonally into 8-10 mm pieces.
Step 5
Light the grill and brown the peppers on all sides. This is done on unburned, but already decaying (reddened) coals. When the peppers are dark, remove from the grill and cool for 5-10 minutes. Then fold in a plastic bag, tie tightly and place in a cool place. When the peppers "sweat", peel them off.
Step 6
Fry the eggplants, tomatoes, zucchini and leeks over the glowing charcoal for 10-15 minutes. Don't forget to turn the vegetables. Transfer vegetables to a flat plate in layers, pouring garlic sauce over each. Sprinkle with washed and finely chopped dill and parsley on top.
Step 7
Let the vegetables soak in the garlic sauce for at least an hour. Serve the dish cold. Eggplants cooked according to this recipe are an excellent vegetable snack, and they can also be used as a garnish for grilled meat.
