Rince the egg plant under running water , pat dry . Slice the egg plant into thin ribbons . Place in a glass bowl or jar , cover with vinegar leave for 24 hours in the vinegar . Remove from the vinegar and squeeze dry . Place the egg plant into a clean glass jar , with spices of your choice eg' hot peppers, oregano, garlic. After one week of marinating in the oil and spices , they will be ready to eat ,Buon Appetito. tip : make sure the egg plant are always covered by the oil .You can use the same recipe to pickle a variety of hard vegatables eg: carrot cauliflower , new guinea bean . Green tomato's , the tomato's are my favourite , if pickling tomato's don't mix with other vegatables add oregano and garlic . Follow Ups:
