Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to fry eggplants in foil on coals? Prepare all the products that will be required for the recipe.

2. Step 2:

   

   Wash the eggplants in cold water and dry them with paper napkins or a towel. Peel the garlic and cut each clove into thin slices. The amount of garlic can be adjusted to taste.

3. Step 3:

   

   On each eggplant, make deep incisions along the vegetable (as in the photo). Incisions can be made 2-3 or more.

4. Step 4:

   

   Put two or three slices of garlic in each incision.

5. Step 5:

   

   Do the same with the second eggplant. At this stage, you can sprinkle the blue ones with your favorite dry spices if desired. I prefer to use nothing but garlic in this recipe.

6. Step 6:

   

   Wrap the vegetables with foil in two or three layers.

8. Step 7:

   

   Pour refined vegetable or olive oil into a deep small container. Pass a couple of garlic cloves through a press or cut by hand as finely as possible. Stir and leave to infuse for a while (20-30 minutes will be quite enough, you can take a little longer).

9. Step 8:

   

   Light a fire. When the firewood burns out and the coals remain, proceed to further cooking.

10. Step 9:

    

    Put the blue ones on the embers. Leave until cooked, turning the eggplants periodically. It will take about 20 minutes. Be guided by the fact that the eggplant should become soft. To check the softness of the vegetable, pierce it with a toothpick or the tip of a knife through the foil.

11. Step 10:

    

    Remove the eggplants from the coals. Carefully cut lengthwise with a knife. Add salt to taste.

12. Step 11:

    

    Pour garlic oil over the eggplant (or use a silicone brush, as is more convenient for you). Sprinkle fresh herbs on top. It can be dill, parsley, cilantro, green young onions or a mixture of the above herbs. The blue ones can be left in this form, or you can take them out of foil and serve them on a plate.

13. Step 12:

    

    Eggplants cooked in foil are amazingly delicious hot and cold. Serve them as an independent dish or in addition to meat, kebabs, cutlets and much more.
