Método

1. Cut the eggplants¹ into 2 cm cubes, season with 4 g salt, and leave for 20 minutes, then squeeze out and pat dry with a towel.

2. Sterilize a 0.5 l jar and lid: steam the jar or heat it in the oven at 120 °C for 15 minutes, and boil the lid for 5 minutes.

3. Fry the eggplants¹ in 50 ml oil in batches for 3–4 minutes, until golden.

4. Bring the water (about 100 ml) to a boil with the remaining salt, sugar, and pepper, then pour in the vinegar.

5. Mix the eggplants¹ with the minced garlic² and dill³, pack tightly into the jar, and pour over the hot marinade.

6. Cover with the lid and sterilize in a pot of hot water for 15 minutes from the moment it comes to a boil.

7. Seal the jar, turn it upside down, and wrap until cool. Store in a cool, dark place for up to 12 months; refrigerate an opened jar for up to 10 days.
