Crimean-style eggplant rolls
Description
I'm happy to share with you a simple recipe for Crimean-style eggplant rolls. Since eggplants can be bitter, you may optionally pre-treat them to remove the bitterness. To do this, dissolve 1 tablespoon of salt in 1 liter of water and soak the sliced eggplants in this solution for 15 minutes. This will draw out the bitterness from the eggplants. Happy cooking!
