Step cooking
- Wash eggplant (2-3 pieces). Cut the stem and second edge and cut into large cubes. The skin does not need to be cleaned. Fold the chopped eggplant in a bowl, salt (about 1 teaspoon of salt), mix and leave for 20 minutes so that bitterness comes out.
- Wash bell pepper (1-2 pieces), peel seeds and stalks and cut into large cubes.
- Wash dill (4-5 branches), dry and chop very finely.
- Cut half a salad onion (blue onion) into thin half rings. The thinner the better.
- Peel the garlic (2-3 cloves) and pass through a press. In a salad bowl, mix onion sliced in half rings, add garlic and finely chopped dill.
- Pour lemon juice (a tablespoon), soy sauce (2 tablespoons) and vegetable oil (a tablespoon) into these ingredients, mix well and leave to infuse. This is a salad dressing.
- Place the pan on the stove and heat it well. Pour a little vegetable oil (1-2 tablespoons) and let it warm.
- Put the bell pepper and stir it, fry until soft. Put the finished pepper on a plate covered with paper towels.
- Add a little vegetable oil to the pan and fry the previously washed and peeled mushrooms. If the mushrooms are small, then they do not need to be cut. Cut large mushrooms into 3-4 parts. Put the mushrooms fried until cooked in a separate plate lined with paper towels.
- Rinse the standing eggplant, squeeze a little and fry until tender in a pan, adding vegetable oil. Put the finished eggplant on paper towels.
- Mix the cooled down vegetables in a bowl and season with the seasoned dressing. Mix everything gently with movements from the bottom up.
- Leave the salad to stand for 15-20 minutes, and then it can be served on the table.
