Basic Cooking Principles

For the preparation of all subsequent dishes you will definitely need fresh eggplants and garlic, and the choice of cheese will depend on the recipe. If you like spicy food, then in each recipe, increase the amount of garlic by one serving.
Use olive oil for frying.
Garlic is an excellent addition to cheese and eggplants so that it doesn’t take long to clean it, you can quickly cut off the edges from it, and then press it with the plane of a knife, and the whole husk will disappear.
Tomatoes will also often be found in the recipes suggested by us, for the quality of the dishes it is necessary to remove the skin from the tomatoes. To do this, put all the tomatoes in a deep container and fill with boiling water. In this condition, leave them for 15 minutes.

To make the blue minimally bold, it is necessary immediately after frying or baking to spread it on a napkin so that it absorbs excess fat.
You can add any vegetables to cheese and eggplants, fry them and bake them as a blue filling or as a separate dish.
For vegetables, always try to make a sauce. In some of our recipes, we gave an example of how it can be. But this does not end there. Try to make not only cheese sauce. You can use both ready-made and homemade sauce. Mint-garlic and soy sauces are suitable for vegetables.
