• (I have the skin to remove the stopped — all friends already "impressed", all the ahs, OHS behind, can not be achieved 100% similarity, and the taste of the skin does not spoil).
• Prepared eggplant to throw in the boiling brine. After re-boiling, cook for 4.5 — 5 minutes on medium heat.
• Remove from the heat. Drain in a colander and leave (no stirring, no shaking, no tamping) to the brine and the bitterness drained and the eggplants have cooled. It takes about an hour.

• Boil the water and boil eggplant in it (after re-boil) for 3-4 minutes. (Salt and vinegar in this case, it will need to boil just in water!
• After cooking the eggplant slices, spread out in banks, sandwiching the prepared garlic and chopped onions. Add cloves, allspice, Bay leaf, lovers particularly sharp — and sharp, bitter pepper.

Marinade
