Stewed eggplant with peppers in sweet and sour sauce: a recipe for every day

Summer is the best time to prepare healthy and tasty dishes from fresh and stewed vegetables. But remember that vegetables should not be fried, as they will lose almost all of their beneficial vitamins and minerals.

The cook shared a recipe for delicious fried eggplant with peppers, onions, and garlic on Instagram.

Ingredients:

• 2 eggplants
• 3 tbsp of starch
