  "Десятка" Print In Russian


You will make it in layers; 
First tomatoes, 2nd onions, 3rd eggplants, last bell peppers . Follow the directions step by step.
  •  Slice eggplants longwise 1/3in thick (leave skin on)  sprinkle salt on top of each piece. Put aside so all bitterness comes out, for about an hour. 
  • Then slice tomatoes into circles and put in a non stick cooking pot.
  •  Cut onion into circles add to the pot. 
  • The eggplants will have liquid all over, so take a paper towel and tap until dry. Cut the eggplants (that you put aside to let out all of the bitterness out) in smaller pieces about a 3/4 of a inch of the finger thick size and add to the pot. 
  • Cut bell peppers into small pieces and add to the pot. Next pour brine mix into the pot. 
  • Boil for 45 min. 
  • Turn off and add minced garlic. 
  • The salad can be canned right after you boil it.
