“Long ago, there was a Turkish imam who was well known for his love of good food. One day he surprised his friends by announcing his engagement to the beautiful young daughter of a wealthy olive oil merchant. As part of her dowry were twelve jars of excellent olive oil. After the wedding, the young girl quickly revealed her talents as an excellent cook, and every day she prepared a new dish for her beloved husband.

Eggplant in the oven with tomatoes and peppers became his favorite dish, and he asked his wife to cook this dish every day for dinner. Being a good wife, she cooked this eggplant dish for twelve consecutive days. However, on the thirteenth day, when the imam sat down to supper, his favorite dish was not on the table. The imam demanded an explanation, the wife replied, - my dear husband, I can no longer make your favorite dish, because the olive oil has run out. The Imam was so shocked by the news that he fainted. Since then, his favorite dish has been called Imam Bayaldi (imam in shock).”

If you are grilling eggplant

How to cook eggplant on fire.

• Bake blue ones on a gas stove or grill from fifteen minutes to half an hour. Use tongs to turn the vegetable briquette a quarter of a turn every five minutes so that it cooks evenly. The larger the eggplant you choose, the slower it will cook. It will take less time to cook small Japanese vegetables. Don't be afraid to "overcook" them; the foil and tough crust will keep the tender flesh from burning.

Remove the briquette from the heat and let it cool down a bit.

• When the eggplant in the foil becomes soft, remove the briquette from the heat. Be careful and be sure to use tongs, the aluminum foil is very hot. Let the vegetable cool inside the foil for a few minutes.

If you are interested in the question of how to get rid of the bitterness of eggplant, how to soak them for bitterness, see a few simple tips below:

• How to remove bitterness from eggplant? First of all, for frying, choose smaller and younger fruits. Young and thin vegetables have less bitterness and will be softer when cooked.
• Secondly. If you bake an eggplant cut in half, in order to remove bitterness from it, sprinkle the slices with salt before cooking. Spread coarse salt in an even layer on the eggplant slice. Let them stand salted for half an hour. During this time, drops of moisture will appear on the surface. This liquid will contain bitterness. Wash it off with running water. Dry the fruits thoroughly with paper towels and only then bake.
• Thirdly. If you bake an eggplant cut in half, you can see large seeds inside the fruit. Most often, it is in them that bitterness remains. Scoop out the largest seeds with a teaspoon along with them, you will remove the bitter aftertaste.
• After frying, take out the pulp and put it in a cup, or better in a colander set over the cup. Let the pulp cool for half an hour. During this time, a certain amount of smoke-soaked juice will collect at the bottom of the cup. Try this liquid. If the juice tastes bitter, discard it ruthlessly.

Delicious eggplant baked in the oven with tomatoes and cheese

This is the most delicious vegetable dish I have ever cooked. And it is also very beautiful, it is always pleasant to serve it to the table and no less pleasant to eat.

We will need:

• eggplant - 4 pieces
• cheese - 250 gr
• tomatoes - 8 pcs
• bell pepper - 1 pc.
• garlic - 2 cloves
• basil - 1 - 2 sprigs
• salt, ground black pepper to taste
• spices to taste and desire
• vegetable oil - 2 - 3 tbsp. spoons

Cooking:

1. "Blue" wash and dry. Then, without cutting off the stem, but only trimming it, and cutting off the “skirt”, cut it in the form of a fan. To do this, you need to arm yourself with a very sharp knife and make cuts, starting from a blunt nose and under the very stem. The thickness of the strips should be from 1 to 1.5 cm.

That is, simply put, you need to cut it in such a way that the strips are held by the stalk, and when opened, they would form a fan.

2. Salt the white flesh, lightly rubbing the crystals with your fingers. We do this carefully so as not to break our workpiece. Let it lie down for 10 - 15 minutes, so that it becomes softer, and so that all the bitterness comes out.

And to make the process go faster, put a cutting board on the cut vegetables, and also put a small saucepan of water on it.

3. Prepare garlic oil. To do this, chop the garlic and pour it with oil. It will infuse and be ready. You can add the spices you like to the resulting mixture.

4. Cut the tomatoes into slices, and if they are large, then each of them into two more halves. We will insert them into the "fan". And also cut the Bulgarian pepper into half rings. Of course, you can do without it, but it will give just an incomparable flavor to the whole dish.

5. Also cut the cheese in such a way that it will be convenient to spread it into a “fan”. If there is mozzarella, then it will be just fine. If not, then basically any hard cheese will do.

6. In the meantime, our “blue ones” are slightly limp, and you need to gently squeeze out excess moisture from them. Then coat the plates with garlic oil, along with all the spices and garlic.

7. And you can put tomatoes in the slots.

And then cheese and two or three rings of bell pepper. For taste and aroma, put in the same tasty-smelling basil.

8. Grease a baking sheet with vegetable oil. Spread out the "fans", and whole small tomatoes, and also put the remaining bell pepper on top of all this splendor.

9. We put our beauty in an oven preheated to 180 degrees and bake for 20 minutes.

10. At the end of cooking, remove the baking sheet and let the dish cool slightly, five minutes will be enough. Arrange the "fans" on portioned plates and serve. Eat with pleasure, enjoying the taste, aroma and appearance of a wonderful dish.
