Marinated Eggplant
(Melanzane Marinate)
What You Need:
  • 3 quarts water
  • 1 to 1½ pounds eggplant, unpeeled, cut into 1-inch cubes (about 6 cups)
  • ¼ cup wine vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon finely chopped garlic
  • ½ teaspoon dried basil, crumbled
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano, crumbled
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon drained capers
  • How To Cook:
    1. Bring the water to a bubbling boil over high heat in a large saucepan or soup pot.

    2. Drop in the cubed eggplant, reduce the heat and simmer uncovered for 10 minutes, or until the eggplant offers only the slightest resistance when a cube is pierced with the tip of a sharp knife.

    3. Drain the cubes in a large sieve or colander and pat them dry with paper towels.

    4. Mix the vinegar, garlic, basil, oregano, salt and pepper together in a large serving bowl, add the eggplant cubes and toss them gently until they are coated with vinegar and herbs.

    5. Marinate in the refrigerator for about 1 hour. Just before serving, toss the eggplant with olive oil and sprinkle it with capers.
