Инструкции
- Slice the skins off the eggplants, and slice them about 1/4 inch thick from top to bottom. Then slice across to get pcs the size of French fries. Put the eggplant strips in a bowl and toss with the 1/2 c. of salt.
- Move the eggplant strips into a colander, arraying them in a relatively uniform layer up the sides. Put a bowl the same size as the colander inside the colander and weigh it down with three or possibly so pounds of weight. [I find a foil covered common solid brick is a handy kitchen tool] Put the entire apparatus in the sink to drain for 45 min. This will remove any bitterness from the eggplant.
- Rinse the salt off the eggplant with cool water. Drain it well, then SQUEEZE it dry. Put the eggplant in a bowl with the vinegar, and marinate it for 30 min. [It will return to shape like a wet sponge]
- Drain the vinegar from the eggplant and squeeze it dry again. Put the eggplant into a bowl with all the other ingredients.
- Pour the contents into a canning jar. Make SURE there is sufficient extra virgin olive oil to completely cover all the eggplant about 1/2 inch deep. Tightly seal and chill the jar. Marinate for at least a week; the ideal time is actually three months, and the eggplant will keep getting better even after which.
