Azerbaijani-style eggplants
Description
The recipe won't take much time. Actually, I've revised this Azerbaijani-style eggplant recipe more than once—I mean, using this method you can also cook zucchini, squash, and even sweet peppers! That's why I most often prepare this kind of vegetable medley, as seen in the central photo. But first, let's find out. Serve hot.
