Ingredients:
- eggplants - 1 kg
- carrots - 1 pc
- onion - 1 pc
- sweet red pepper - 2 pcs
- garlic - 65 g
- salt - 0.5 tbsp.
- lemon juice - 100 ml

Method of preparation:
1. Wash eggplants, cut off the tails, pour in a pot, pour water over and salt. Put on the fire, bring to a boil and boil for 5 minutes.
2. Take the boiled eggplants out of the water and place them on a hard surface. Cover with a board and put something heavy on top. Leave them like this for 30-40 minutes.
3. Prepare the stuffing. To do this, grate carrots on a fine grater, cut peppers into straws, onions into half rings and squeeze garlic. Mix everything and add salt and lemon juice.
