Eggplant or eggplant how right? Low-calorie vegetable - to help those losing weight! Eggplant in a double boiler Eggplant in a double boiler for the winter.

Rarely, someone cooks eggplants for a couple, but in vain - a famous culinary expert thinks. Jamie Oliver agrees that "steamed eggplant" clearly does not sound very appetizing, but he says with confidence that this dish actually turns out to be much tastier than by ear. Typically, these vegetables are fried or baked, while saturating the eggplant with as much oil as possible. If, however, steam the eggplant, then they will certainly become light, tender and soft. This means that every gourmet will be able to consume absolutely any amount of eggplants without fear of eating a large number of calories, because steamed products do not contain oils! There are many varieties of eggplant - purple, white, round and long, Jamie recommends trying them all!

The recipe is taken from Jamie's Kitchen TO BUY A BOOK

1 Boil some water in a saucepan first. Cut the eggplants in half along the length, moving the pieces into the double boiler so that the eggplants are in the cut-up position. Cook for 10 minutes to see if the slice is ready by squeezing gently with your index and middle fingers. If it becomes soft, the eggplant is ready!

3 Now make the sauce by mixing all the ingredients together. When doing this, do not forget to coarsely chop the coriander, basil and mint.

4 Season the eggplants while they are warm. Cut each slice into 1/2-inch pieces, transfer to a bowl, shake and pour over the dressing. This dish can be immediately served on the table as a side dish for any fish or salad.

Now a large percentage of people do not know how to correctly inflect the plural noun "eggplant". All dictionary authors have their own opinions on this matter. Let's analyze this situation and decide how to speak and write correctly in this case.

Firstly, eggplant is not a native Russian word, it was borrowed from the Turkish language. For foreign words are allowed as a form "eggplant" and "Eggplant" .

There is a rule according to which masculine vegetables have endings -ow or –Ev... Using this rule, it is possible to justify the spelling of this form of the word.

What dictionaries talk about

The creators of different vocabularies have opposite points of view on this issue.
S. A. Kuznetsov condemns the form "eggplant" in the plural and genitive. The form is considered colloquial, and the "eggplant" form is correct.
D. N. Ushakov, on the contrary, considers the "eggplant" form to be the only correct form.
SI Ozhegov also considers the type of "eggplants" to be correct and correct.

Aesthetics on offer

Many people think that it is necessary to use an option that fits more harmoniously into the proposal. The form is selected taking into account the words in the sentence.

Examples of

1. The woman was carrying several kilograms of eggplant.
2. The man took many kilograms of eggplants.
3. The sellers did not have so many kilograms of eggplants in stock.
4. Will you find seven kilograms of eggplant?

Conversational view

The word came from a foreign language, and for a long time it was unusual. The people left the noun in the plural genitive in its original form, that is, "eggplant". This form is still valid for colloquial speech. Despite the fact that half of the dictionaries recognize this particular form as correct, it is permissible and possible only in ordinary conversation.

Written form

For the strict, formal literary form, this word is used with the ending - s. This is recognized as a more undistorted option. In Russian, there is a special rule about the end –Ow and –Ev.
Despite clearly established rules, some people continue to use the type of word that is more literate for them. There are people who question the correctness of using these nouns in the text, which is not surprising, because this is a foreign word and one cannot be sure how to pronounce it correctly.

If you are having an informal conversation, it is permissible to say both "eggplant" and "eggplant". Someone can hear such phrases: “no eggplant”, “a lot of eggplant”, but as we already understood, “eggplant” is a noun from the Turkish language, therefore colloquially it can end in –ов and –an.
In written speech, you still need to write "eggplants" so that there are no various accusations. An impressive number of dictionary compilers support this particular version.

As we already understood earlier, it is more competent to use exactly the form that fits best into the proposal. Even if it is wrong from the point of view of philologists, it will look harmoniously in the text.

Finally, I would like to note that many people, even those who are well versed in the Russian language, for example, the authors of vocabulary, can be mistaken and mistaken, although their point of view is often considered authoritative. They can take into account one rule, but not take into account another, and these people quite often do not support their opinion.
For example, in dictionaries, to which people are often referred, the correct form, from the point of view of the compiler, is simply written. That's why "eggplant" and "Eggplant" can be considered the correct form.
