Eggplant with meat is a win-win, interesting and rather unusual combination! Dishes made from these products are hearty and tasty, easy to prepare, and eaten quickly. You don't even need an oven because everything works out great in a frying pan. The food will appeal to all eaters and even the most demanding gourmets. There are many options for cooking this dish, but the most delicious are blue ones fried with meat in a pan. However, in order for eggplants with minced meat in a frying pan to turn out tasty and nutritious, you need to know some principles of their preparation, useful tips and tricks.
- The older and larger the fruit, the worse it tastes. As they ripen, harmful corned beef collects in eggplants, which adds bitterness. Therefore, in order for the dish to be tasty and healthy, you should choose young and small specimens.
- However, if there are no young blue ones, and you have to use a mature vegetable, then they should first be pre-processed: cut and remove the bitterness. To do this, they are poured with salted water or simply sprinkled with salt, and after 15-30 minutes they are washed with water.
- If you want to keep the shape of the eggplant slices and not turn the food into porridge, then it is better not to cut the skin off the vegetable.
- The best companion for eggplant is garlic. These products go great together in one dish. If you do not want a bright garlic aroma to be present, then put it in the dish in the middle of cooking. If you want to smell the garlic scent, put the chopped cloves at the very end.
- Eggplants with meat are usually cooked in a pan in two ways: fried or stewed. Sometimes both methods of heat treatment are combined.
- To reduce the calorie content of your dish, use twisted chicken fillets, and fry the eggplants in a non-stick skillet.

Step by step cooking blue fried with meat in a pan, recipe with photo:
1. Wash the eggplants, dry with a paper towel and cut into medium-sized cubes. If you are using a mature vegetable, then pre-process it as described above and remove the bitterness. Then pour vegetable oil into the pan and heat well. Add the eggplants and fry, stirring until golden brown.
2. Remember that eggplants love oil and absorb it like a sponge, so you will have to add oil to the pan. But then the food will be fatty and high-calorie. Use a nonstick skillet to reduce calories. It does not require a lot of oil, and vegetables will not burn.
3. Peel the onions and chop finely. If you have a whole piece of meat, twist it through a meat grinder. In another skillet, heat the oil and fry the minced meat with onions until golden brown.
4. Combine eggplant with minced meat in one frying pan and stir. Season the dish with salt and ground pepper to taste. Pass the peeled garlic cloves through a press. Also add any herbs and spices. Stir, cover the pan and simmer the blue fried with meat in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Serve warm or chilled.
