My Mom taught me how to make this...probably so she didn't have to slice the eggplant. But I am glad she did.
Ingredients
- coarse salt shopping list
- eggplants shopping list
- hot peppers shopping list
- olive oil shopping list
- vinegar shopping list
- Peeled, Sliced garlic cloves shopping list
- fresh mint, Finely Chopped shopping list
How to make it
- Peel the eggplants, and slice thinly lengthwise.
- Slice again into thin ribbons.
- Place in a colander, layering with coarse salt. (Use a handful for 3-4 eggplants).
- Place a weight on top and leave to drain for 24 hours.
- Drain the eggplant.
- Mix one part vinegar with two parts of water in a large pot.
- Bring to a boil, and drop the eggplant into the vinegar mixture.
- Let sit 3 minutes and then drain, squeezing excess moisture from the eggplant.
- Once the eggplant is almost dry, place in a large bowl with the sliced garlic, hot peppers and mint.
- Mix in enough oil to coat well and then pack into hot sterilized jars, leaving a little headspace.
- Pour a little extra oil on top, and poke with a wooden spoon handle to remove trapped air.
- Seal with hot sterilized lids.
- Make sure to keep some out for supper!

I can't believe it - this is just like my Nonna's pickled eggplant recipe! I've been looking for it for years, as I couldn't remember the ingredient measurements. I can't wait to make some - thank you so much!
