  • Cut the eggplant into thin slices.
  • Put the eggplant slices in a bowl and salt them. Leave for 10-15 minutes for the bitter water to come out.
  • Absorb the water with dry cloths. Then heat a frying pan with oil, and fry the eggplant slices, over low heat, with a lid.
  • Turn your eggplant over on the other side. Add a little more oil during frying, if needed.
  • Press garlic and add to mayonnaise.
  • Add a little salt. Stir.
  • Cut tomatoes into long slices.
  • Prepare the table: fried eggplant, chopped tomatoes, mayonnaise sauce, and put a slice of eggplant on a plate.
  • Grease with a tablespoon of mayonnaise sauce over the eggplant.
  • Put a slice of tomato at the end of the slice of eggplant.
  • Then roll.
  • Do the same with the remaining eggplant. Refrigerate for at least an hour, then serve.

Enjoy!
