Step 1
How to make eggplants with tomatoes and bell peppers for winter? First, prepare the necessary ingredients and spices.
Step 2
Wash the tomatoes under running water, remove the stems, and cut them into pieces into a large bowl. Peel the garlic. Adjust the garlic quantity to taste. Wash chili peppers, remove stems and seeds.
Step 3
Use a meat grinder with a large grate to grind the chopped tomatoes into a large enamel pot. While grinding, add the garlic cloves and chili pepper. You can replace the grinder with a blender if desired.
Step 4
Place the pot with ground tomatoes on the stove, add sugar, 1 tablespoon coarse salt, vegetable oil, and mix everything.
Step 5
Cover with a lid and bring the tomatoes to a boil over high heat.
Step 6
Wash the eggplants and bell peppers under running water. Remove the stems from eggplants and seeds from peppers. Cut the vegetables into small, roughly equal-sized pieces.

Once the tomatoes boil, reduce the heat to medium and cook for another 10 minutes.
Step 8
Add the chopped eggplants and bell peppers into the pot and mix well.
Step 9
Cover the pot with a lid and bring the vegetables to a boil over high heat. Then reduce to low heat and, stirring occasionally, simmer for about 15 minutes.
