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
  • Eggplants
  • Hot Peppers
  • Olive Oil
  • Vinegar
  • Peeled, Sliced Garlic Cloves
  • Fresh Mint, Finely Chopped

Directions
  1. Peel the eggplants, and slice thinly lengthwise.
  2. Slice again into thin ribbons.
  3. Place in a colander, layering with coarse salt. (Use a handful for 3-4 eggplants).
  4. Place a weight on top and leave to drain for 24 hours.
  5. Drain the eggplant.
  6. Mix one part vinegar with two parts of water in a large pot.
  7. Bring to a boil, and drop the eggplant into the vinegar mixture.
  8. Let sit 3 minutes and then drain, squeezing excess moisture from the eggplant.
  9. Once the eggplant is almost dry, place in a large bowl with the sliced garlic, hot peppers and mint.
  10. Mix in enough oil to coat well and then pack into hot sterilized jars, leaving a little headspace.
  11. Pour a little extra oil on top, and poke with a wooden spoon handle to remove trapped air.
  12. Seal with hot sterilized lids.
  13. Make sure to keep some out for supper!

Absolutly delicious, I looooove eggplant and this pickling recipe is perfect. Love the subtleness of the mint.


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!
