I first saw the recipe for eggplants like mushrooms about 20 years ago. At that time, this name seemed funny to me, but I still prepared pickled eggplants according to that recipe (I will definitely share the recipe). And somehow since then I forgot about this appetizer until I again started looking for something new to cook from my favorite blue ones. But it turns out that since then a huge number of recipes for eggplants like mushrooms have appeared, and they are all different, but tasty.
That’s why I decided to dedicate the entire collection of recipes to eggplants with mushroom flavor. You can cook these eggplants for the winter and as a cold appetizer. And cooked in this way, they really resemble mushrooms, both in appearance and taste.
Eggplants are like mushrooms: we cook quickly and tasty
Well, we start preparing a hearty snack. And in honorable first place is the cooking method, which I have already tried personally. It differs from all other recipes in that we will marinate the “blue” vegetables a little. And be sure to add garlic, because you simply cannot do without it.
Ingredients:
- Eggplants - 5 kg;
- Garlic - 3 heads;
- Dill - 1 bunch;
- Vegetable oil - 300 ml;
- Vinegar 9% - 250 ml + 50 ml;
- Ground black pepper - 1 teaspoon;
- Salt - 4 tbsp. spoons;
- Sugar - 1 heaped teaspoon;
- Water - 4.5 liters.
Cooking process:
Wash and cut off the stems of the “little blue” ones, and cut the vegetables themselves into cubes. In order for the appetizer to turn out delicious, of course, you need to take only fresh eggplants and only well-ripened ones.
Take a deep saucepan and pour water into it. Bring the liquid to a boil and pour in vinegar (50 ml). Send the chopped eggplants and boil them for 5 minutes from the moment the water boils.
Vinegar prevents eggplants from overcooking. Place the finished cubes on a sieve. And when all the water has drained, transfer the vegetable to a large container.
Wash and dry the dill, chop finely. Peel the garlic and finely chop it too.
Combine dill with garlic, pour in vinegar and vegetable oil. Add salt, sugar and pepper. Mix everything well and leave until the salt and sugar dissolve.
Pour the prepared marinade over the boiled cubes and mix well, lifting the mass from the bottom.
Transfer the salad into sterilized jars, while lightly shaking the containers. Also distribute the remaining marinade into jars.
Close the jars with lids and put them in the refrigerator. After 12 hours, the snack is ready to eat.
If you want to make such a salad in the winter, then sterilize the full jars and seal them with lids. Turn upside down, cover with a blanket and cool. Then store it in a cellar or pantry.

Eggplants are like mushrooms for the winter - the recipe is to die for!
These eggplants are indeed very similar to mushrooms, and they are prepared with approximately the same main vegetable ingredients: garlic, dill and vegetable oil.
This is a very simple and uncomplicated, easy option for pickling for the winter, and you can even serve it straight to the table. Let's figure it out step by step how to pickle such delicacies and how to screw them under the lid. You will learn little nuances and tips from my grandmother, which she shared with me, and I with you.
Ingredients:
- eggplants - 1.5 kg
- garlic - 2 heads
- dill - 1 bunch
- water - 2 l
- salt - 2 tbsp
- sugar - 1 tbsp
- vinegar 9% - 170 ml
- vegetable oil - 150 ml
Cooking process:
Cut the eggplants into circles, and then chop each piece into two parts, as shown in the photo.
Pour water into a saucepan, add sugar and salt. Bring to a boil. As soon as the brine boils, pour in the vinegar.
Place blueberry pieces into this brine and cook for about 5-6 minutes.
Since eggplants are very tender and light, they always begin to float when cooked, so you should occasionally press them down with a spatula.
Once the time is up, remove them from the water, a slotted spoon works best.
Interesting! You can boil eggplants not in a saucepan, but in a multicooker bowl, just select the “Cooking” mode with the lid open and cook.
Chop the dill finely with a kitchen knife. And immediately send it to the boiled eggplants, followed by the garlic squeezed through a garlic press.
Important! If there is no special device for pressing garlic, then chop the garlic finely with a knife.
That's how wonderful and beautiful it looks. Mix everything with a tablespoon. Add vegetable oil. Stir. Now let it brew for 12 hours, and then you can eat it as any appetizer or side dish.
Since today we are making a dish for the winter, we will need sterilized jars and lids to preserve the little blue ones. Divide the finished mixture into jars, lightly compact and cover with lids.
Now take a deep pan, put a towel on the bottom, and then put the jars out. Fill with warm water up to the hangers of the jars. Turn on the heat and bring to a boil, sterilize for 20 minutes.
Next, screw it under the lid. Turn the jar upside down and roll it with a towel or fur coat. Leave it overnight, or about 8-12 hours, until completely cooled.
Turn the jar upside down and roll it with a towel or fur coat. Leave it overnight, or about 8-12 hours, until completely cooled.
This is such a beautiful and flavorful dish! You can add a little more or a little less herbs and garlic, experiment with flavors.

Golden recipe for preparing eggplants like mushrooms for the winter with pepper
Here’s another very popular way to prepare blueberries for the winter. Here we will cook them in brine and add hot pepper for spiciness. It can be replaced with its red, hot counterpart. Who has what?
Ingredients:
- blue ones - 1 kg,
- hot pepper,
- whole head of garlic
- sunflower oil - 130 ml.
For the brine:
- water - 1.3 l,
- salt - 1.5 tbsp,
- granulated sugar - 1.5 tbsp.,
- carnation inflorescences - 5 pcs.,
- 2 pcs bay leaves,
- 2 allspice peas,
- 6 black peppercorns,
- vinegar 9% - 6 tbsp. spoons
Cooking process:
The first step is to place a saucepan of water on the stove and wait for it to gurgle. In it we dissolve the required amount of salt, granulated sugar and add spices.
In the meantime, we are waiting for the brine to boil, let’s take care of the eggplant fruits. Wash them, cut off the tails and cut them into slices.
Then we peel and cut the garlic. When the marinade boils, add vinegar to it. Add the eggplant slices and boil for 5 minutes from the moment they boil.
Finely chop the pepper. You can take bitter, or better yet, hot. We strain the blue ones and send them to fry.
Pour sunflower oil into the frying pan. Part of it will be used for frying, and the other part will be poured into jars. Add pieces of garlic and pepper to fry. After a minute, add the eggplants.
Fill sterilized half-liter containers with the snack and pour vegetable oil on top. Roll up and remove to cool.
Eggplant halves in brine for the winter
In a short time, the chefs prepare an excellent snack, which they successfully offer to customers during the cold season.
You will need a classic set of products:
- medium sized eggplants;
- garlic (preferably winter);
- vegetable fat without aroma;
- salt;
- spices to taste;
- vinegar;
- sugar.
Eggplants are cut in half. Remove the stalk. Dip into a brine made from water, vinegar, granulated sugar and salt. Boil for 15 minutes, then put in cheesecloth and hang over a bowl for 10-12 hours.
The eggplant slices are placed in a deep container. Pour in vegetable oil (about 0.5 liters per 2 kg of vegetables). Sprinkle with chopped garlic (100 g) and mix thoroughly. Place in jars. Sterilized. Roll up the lids. When serving, cut into pieces, pouring over the resulting juice.
Fried eggplant with mushrooms and mayonnaise
This is a salad for those who love fried eggplants. The recipe is very cool. This appetizer can be eaten immediately after preparation, or can be stored for the winter.
Ingredients:
- eggplants - 2.5 kg
- onion – 750 gr
- mayonnaise - 400 gr
- mushroom seasoning - half a pack
- vegetable oil for frying
Cooking process:
Peel the blue ones and cut them into cubes. Place the pieces in a saucepan, add water and put on fire. Cook for 5-7 minutes over medium heat. Keep the finished pieces in boiling water for another 3 minutes and place in a colander, let all the water drain well.
Cut the onion into thin half rings and fry it in a frying pan until tender. The onions should become translucent and golden, but do not let them fry as this will ruin the color of the finished dish. To avoid this, stir the onions well and often during cooking.
Place the onions in a container and fry the eggplants in the same pan, also not allowing them to fry too much. Mix the blue ones with onions. To completely turn them into mushrooms, add mushroom seasoning to give them a truly mushroom flavor and aroma.
Mix everything well. The mixture can be peppered to taste. We do not use salt; mayonnaise and seasoning themselves are salty.
You can make your own mushroom seasoning from dried mushrooms by grinding them into powder.
If you have homemade seasoning, you may need to add additional salt to the appetizer.
After adding mayonnaise, mix everything carefully. Divide the mixture into jars, pressing it tightly with a spoon, trying not to leave any air pockets. At the end you should end up with about 5 half liter jars of this delicious snack.
Pour water into a large saucepan and cover the bottom with a napkin. Place the jars in the pan, the water should reach up to their shoulders. Lids can be sterilized separately in boiling water.
The sterilization time for half-liter jars is half an hour. If the jars are larger in volume, then this time increases. For 1 kg - 1 hour. Next, we twist our jars, put them upside down and wrap them until they cool completely. If some does not fit into the jars, then you can use it immediately.

Eggplant salad “like mushrooms”
This salad is delicious and healthy, and easy to prepare. It will be at home not only at the usual, but also at the festive table. It can be served as a salad or as a separate dish, cold or warm. The recipe is for 3 servings of salad. Cooking time: 50 min.
Ingredients:
- Eggplants – 300 gr.
- Onion – 1 pc.
- Chicken eggs – 3 pcs.
- Garlic – 2 cloves.
- Vegetable oil – 3.5 tbsp. l.
- Mayonnaise – 100 gr.
- Salt – 0.5 tsp.
- Sugar – 0.5 tsp.
- Vinegar – 1 tsp.
- Water – 3.5 tbsp. l.
- Ground black pepper - to taste.
Cooking process:
- We put a pan of water on the stove and start by boiling the eggs. Boil them hard and then don’t forget to cool them in cold water.
- While the eggs are boiling, prepare the eggplants. We wash and clean them, then cut them into long strips, which we then chop into small cubes (can be cut into strips).
- Place the eggplant pieces in a bowl, sprinkle with salt and set the bowl aside to remove the bitterness from the eggplant.
- Meanwhile, cut the onion into half rings.
- After 10 minutes, rinse the eggplants from salt. They can be boiled in water for a few minutes until they become transparent.
- Let's continue working with the onions - you need to lightly marinate them. To do this, dissolve sugar and salt in water and add vinegar. Pour the onion with the resulting mixture, mashing it a little with your hands or pouring boiling water over it first.
- Chop the garlic cloves. We need garlic so that the salad turns out really like mushrooms.
- We return to our eggplants - we put them in a colander. Heat the oil in a frying pan and add the eggplant pieces and garlic. Fry for several minutes, stirring constantly. There is no need to bring it to browning.
- Meanwhile, the eggs have cooled and can be easily peeled and finely chopped. It is very convenient in this case to use an egg slicer.
- The final stage is assembling our salad. Combine all the ingredients and fill them with mayonnaise. Mix carefully, pepper to taste and serve!
And more tips:
- Eggplants can not only be boiled and then fried, but also baked in the oven - this way they will be crispy.
- The onions for this salad can not only be pickled, but also fried in butter.
- Eggs can be used raw - mix the remaining ingredients with a raw egg and bake or fry.
- You don’t have to peel the eggplants – they taste better that way.
