Preparation steps
Step 1
Prepare all ingredients: thoroughly wash the eggplants, herbs, and garlic. Peel the garlic so it's ready for further use.
Step 2
Pour water into a pot and place it over medium heat. Wait for the water to boil, then add salt and sugar to create the base for the marinade.
Step 3
Carefully pour the vinegar into the boiling water with salt and sugar. This will give the marinade the necessary acidity and aroma.
Step 4
Cut the eggplants into medium-sized, irregular pieces. It's important not to make them too small, so they retain their texture and don't turn into a puree during cooking.
Step 5
Carefully lower the sliced eggplants into the boiling marinade. Wait for it to boil again and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure the eggplants are evenly coated.
Step 6
Remove the pot from the heat. Carefully drain the marinade and let the eggplants cool. They must be completely cool before the next step.
Step 7
While the eggplants are cooling, prepare the herbs and garlic. Finely chop the herbs and grate the garlic on a fine grater or press it through a garlic press to create an aromatic paste.
Step 8
Add the chopped herbs and garlic to the cooled eggplants. These ingredients will give the dish freshness and a piquant flavor.
Step 9
Drizzle the eggplants with vegetable oil and mix thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed. Your appetizer is ready!
Step 10
Serve these delightful pickled eggplants with a slice of fragrant rye bread. For an extra touch of charm and flavor, garnish the dish with Korean-style carrots and sprinkle with white sesame seeds. Enjoy!
