Eggplants in a pot

Cut eggplants (200 g) and tomatoes (200 g) into slices, salt, roll in flour and fry in vegetable oil. Finely chop carrots (100 g) and onions (100 g) and sauté in vegetable oil for 2 minutes. Mix all vegetables, place in a pot, add water, salt, cover or foil and simmer in the oven for 20 minutes. When serving, add two to three cloves of mashed garlic and chopped parsley to each pot.

Eggplants stuffed with rice and vegetables

Cut eggplants (1 kg) lengthwise on one side and remove some of the pulp. Finely chop the Bulgarian pepper (200 g) and onions (100 g). Chop the pulp taken out of the eggplant, sauté it together with chopped bell pepper and onions in vegetable oil. Rinse one glass of rice and boil until tender, then mix with browned vegetables and salt. Fill the eggplants with the resulting mass, place them on a baking sheet, pour over sour cream and bake in the oven.

Eggplants stuffed with meat

Cut the small eggplants lengthwise into halves, use a spoon to take out a part of the pulp from the halves, so that the halves are "boats". Finely chop the removed pulp, mix with minced meat, finely chopped onions, chopped parsley and basil. Fill the eggplant halves with the prepared filling and bake them in the oven, decorate with tomato slices on top or sprinkle with grated cheese, or simply pour over sour cream. There should be equal amounts of meat and vegetables in the eggplant filling, salt - to taste.
