Instructions
  1. Cut the eggplant lengthwise. Next, there are two options: make cuts in the middle, but not to the end, or remove part of the pulp. I always do the second option, because this way more filling fits. This time I made half a boat, half incisions. Add salt and place in a bowl. Leave for an hour (or less, I have about half an hour, have never been bitter)

  2. While preparing the filling. Cut onion and pepper into cubes. In olive oil, fry the onion for about 2-3 minutes, add pepper to it, fry for another 3 minutes.If I make boats, then the next step is to add the finely chopped eggplant pulp, which we took out of the halves.

  4. After a couple of minutes, add the garlic. Season with spices: salt and pepper to taste. Grind the cumin in a mortar. Adjust the amount of cumin yourself. In General, according to the recipe it was 2 tsp, but, in my opinion, this is a lot. Although I love the spicy taste of cumin. Even 0.5 tsp is already spicy. Or I just have a good Uzbek Zira. Add the herbs, check for spices, and simmer for about 3-5 minutes.

  5. Squeeze the eggplant a little, soak it with a paper towel and fry it in olive oil on each side for a few minutes. We do not have a goal to fry the eggplant until ready, they should only be slightly browned.
