Slice the eggplants, fry on both sides in a thick frying pan with a bit of oil, set aside on a napkin, and let cool.
Cut tomatoes and onion rings into thin slices.
Finely chop the garlic and herbs and mix.
Take a cake pan and line it with cling film. In this pan, we assemble the salad: Layer the ingredients in the following sequence, repeating until all the ingredients are used up.
- eggplant
- onion rings
- salt and pepper, drizzle with olive oil
- herbs with garlic
- tomatoes
- salt and pepper, drizzle with olive oil
- herbs with garlic
Leave the salad in the refrigerator for at least a couple of hours or even overnight, then cover the top of the pan with a flat plate and turn it over to shake the salad out of the pan. Be careful with the juice that accumulates in the mold; you need to save it and pour it on top of the salad on the plate (in general, salad juice is the most delicious thing).
Serve as a separate dish or a side dish for meat or poultry.
