Marinated eggplants with ginger, horseradish and herbs
Marinated eggplant with ginger, horseradish and herbs are prepared quickly and disappear from the table even faster. Fresh herbs, horseradish root, ginger and fresh garlic form an excellent quartet that helps to properly emphasize the taste accents. Ginger gives neutral eggplants a light citrus bitterness, while horseradish and garlic become "heavy artillery" in the fight for the piquancy of the snack. It is easy to prepare, but you will have to wait for the vegetables to marinate.

Cooking Instructions!
Preparing the ingredients.
During the cooking process, we will need 600 ml of chilled boiled water.
We wash the eggplants and cut off the stems. Then we pour water into a pot and bring it to a boil.
We put the whole eggplants in the boiling water and cook them for 6-7 minutes. The water should completely cover the vegetables. Then we take out the vegetables and let them cool.
We wash and chop the herbs.
We peel and grate the ginger and horseradish roots, as well as the garlic, using a coarse grater.
In the chilled water (600 ml), we add vegetable oil, vinegar, sugar, and salt. We stir until the salt and sugar dissolve.
We cut the eggplants into 1-1.5 cm thick slices.
We put a layer of eggplant slices in a bowl.
We sprinkle grated roots with garlic on top.
We sprinkle with herbs.
Then we repeat all the layers, and on top, we lay the remaining eggplants.
We pour the marinade over the vegetables.
We cover the eggplants with a plate and put a weight on top. We then send it to the refrigerator in this state for 4 days.
The marinated eggplants with ginger, horseradish, and herbs are ready. This is a great appetizer for lunch, dinner, and holidays.
You can store the appetizer for 1-1.5 weeks in the refrigerator, in a tightly closed container, such as a dish.
Enjoy your meal!
