These are spicy little marinated eggplant strips that are great slipped into a sandwich, on the side of grilled meats or as an antipasto. Use equal amount vinegar to water. My grandmother used to make jars of this all the time.

This recipe is a bit time-consuming, but it's worth it. The eggplant is so tender and flavorful. The marinade is also very good. I would definitely make this recipe again, but I would probably marinate the eggplant overnight to save time.
