Preparing containers and main ingredients
The jars in which the baked eggplants are placed are cleaned of contamination with soda, placed on an oven tray with the neck down, heated to 160 ° C, and removed when the walls are dry. In a double boiler, the container is sterilized for a quarter of an hour. The soaked eggplants are washed under the tap and allowed to drain.
