  • Cook the meatballs that you rolled in your palms, turning them upside down in the pan.
  • Drain the water from the eggplants resting in salt water and rinse them in plenty of water. Dry them with the help of a paper towel. Fry it by turning it upside down in the pan where you have heated the oil. Remove excess oil with the help of paper towels.
  • Divide the green peppers from which you remove the stem parts into four equal parts. Cut the cherry tomatoes in half.
  • Place two fried eggplant strips on a serving plate to form a plus shape. Put one fried meatball in the middle and close it.
