Ingredients

Coarse Salt

Eggplants

Hot Peppers

Olive Oil

Vinegar

Peeled, Sliced Garlic Cloves

Fresh Mint, Finely Chopped

Directions

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!
