Yield Makes 4 to 6 side-dish servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 lb small purple Italian or white eggplants (about 3), trimmed and cut lengthwise into 1/8-inch-thick slices
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
5 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
1 teaspoon sugar
1 garlic clove, thinly sliced
1/2 cup finely chopped fresh mint
2/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Toss eggplant with 1 teaspoon salt in a colander set over a bowl, then let drain 30 minutes. Rinse eggplant, then drain, pressing gently on eggplant to extract any excess liquid. Pat dry.
  • Whisk together vinegar, sugar, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt in a small bowl until sugar is dissolved. Stir in garlic and mint.
  • Heat oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then fry eggplant, about 8 slices at a time, until cooked through and pale golden, about 1 minute per side. Transfer eggplant as fried to paper towels to drain, then transfer to a large shallow dish, overlapping slices slightly. Spoon some of vinegar mint mixture over each batch. Marinate eggplant, covered and chilled, at least 8 hours.

I would give this recipe 5 stars if it wasn't for the fact that it's a bit too oily for my taste.

I found the eggplant to be a bit tough. I think I would cook it for a little longer next time.

This recipe is a bit too salty for my taste. I would recommend using less salt.

I'm allergic to mint, so I used basil instead. It was still very good.

I used balsamic vinegar instead of red wine vinegar and it was still delicious.

I added some chopped walnuts to the marinade and it gave the dish a nice crunch.

I'm not a big fan of eggplant, but this recipe changed my mind! The marinade really tenderizes the eggplant and the mint adds a lovely flavor.
