Tongue of the Mother-in-Law

The "Tongue of the Mother-in-Law" dish was a staple soviet home cooking. It is still trendy. The main "evil power" is in mother-in-law's big mouth, so long eggplant or zucchini slices resemble her tongue. They are fried and rolled with spicy stuffing, which differs from region to region. This recipe comes from the Poltava region of Ukraine. Sweet and hot peppers, garlic, and herbs are finely chopped and seasoned for the stuffing. You can vary the level of heat to your taste.

Step 1

Wash, dry, and slice the eggplant. Eggplant slices should be about 3/8” thick. Lightly spray or brush each slice with vegetable oil on both sides.

Step 2

Heat a dry non-stick (or seasoned stainless steel) skillet. Fry eggplant slices on both sides over high heat until golden. Leave the cooked eggplant slices to cool to room temperature.

Step 3

To make the stuffing, roast and peel peppers and chilies. Dice them and mix with chopped garlic and herbs. Season the mixture with salt, ground black pepper, vinegar, and sunflower oil. Adjust the spiciness to your taste.

Step 4

Stuff the eggplant slices and make rolls. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 5 days in a closed container. This appetizer becomes even better every next day.
