I was wondering when you would realize you shouldn’t squeeze the rest of the water from the eggplant over the eggplant that you’ve already drained🤪🤪🤪🤪

Make sure there are NO hangnails on your hands !! Trust me...OUCH !!! 😢😢😢

Very simple and easy. Thanks ❤

Can half vinegar and half water be used instead of all oil?

I like that very slow talking I understand so good shwe us tomatoes Pickles too thanks

I really want to try your recipe. I’ve made another recipe for pickled eggplant once before, but wasn’t sure if it came out right. The texture was rather rubbery. Not sure if I did something wrong? What should the texture be like? Should the eggplant be very soft or???

Why does everyone Julianne the eggplant I like it in round circles and not a lot of spices just garlic and oil with the vinegar

My mother-in-law from Rome was keeping the aubergine pieces in vinegar overnight and then was leaving to dry on the paper in front of the sun :) and later was placing those pieces into the jars or plastic containers filled with olive oil, garlic, rosemary and something else and leaving closed for a week or so (can’t remember well now).. I just love this antipasto :)

Wonderful, informative, clear instructional video, thank you! I am going to make them ❤

This is so good.

Thank you so much iam making it for my husband ❤❤❤

Just like my mother would make...a big THANK YOU!

Question - Is the eggplant cooked in any way? Should it be? Or is it just raw pickled?

I have 10% vinegar. How much of this should I pour on it? Or should I use a mixture of vinegar and water?

Are they suppose to be slighty snappy? I boiled for 1min innthe vinegar mix. Kinda crunchy.

Anyone else experiencing audio issues from this video? Sounds crackling and distorted to me 😔

My Grandmother boild the eggplant in half water half white vinegar just for a minite.

I always heard that the bottom of the eggplant has to be round which means it's male and will have less seeds. I noticed that your eggplants have an elongated base. How do I make sure that I purchase the best eggplants with less seeds for the recipe? I actually like less seeds for my eggplant parm too.

Grazie mile ❤

Get a mexican molcajete 😂 instead of the garden brick 🧱

I just set up my eggplant to drain overnight under a weight. I live in the Philippines now and what is grown here is the smaller "chinese" style eggplant. Im really excited!!! Ill report back. Next mushrooms!!! I love watching your videos. Im an old transplanted East coast boy and you make me feel like im in an good friends house. Grazie

We are Calabrese so this is a staple in my home!!

My mom does this but she make a big batch but takes weeks

Hi. How long will this last in the fridge before going off?

Made with love and great skill

Exactly how my Nonni made it love this woman she's great!

Any special olive oil? What a great video! Thank you.

My mother made them.. loved them when i was a kid. I tried 1 summer ago but it is impossible to find good eggplant tried growing them.. but they turned out too bitter.

How long did you boil the jars? 17 min 70?

Are they very vinegary once opened ?

White vinegar turns garlic green and garlic and olive oil turns into e coli and a bacteria.

You know she's a real italian because she's doing everything with those cheap serrated knives that are worth their weight in gold.

I love watching ur channel. Stay Blessed!

Hi Alessandra. Thank you so much for this video. My mom used to make pickled eggplant, mushrooms, artichokes and even peppers. During the winter months, on Sunday night, we would eat them with good Italian bread along side left over pasta from Sunday afternoon dinner. I’ve already done the eggplant and it’s so good. Can’t wait to make the mushrooms and sun dried tomatoes. I just have one question. Can you reuse leftover oil in the jar when you make a new batch? Thanks again for your great recipes.

If you use a slightly smaller bowl instead of a of a plate pressing you get more liquid out.

you can find shorter versions elsewhere, if time is an issue;

Love all of your videos!!! Do you refrigerate the salted eggplant while you press the water out overnight or is it safe to leave it out at room temperature?

Delicious ❤️exactly how I make too

My mom made pickled eggplant with black olives. It was so amazing with meat layered on lettuce leaf. She never shared her recipe....well guess what mom. I'm making it now!

I enjoyed your video my question is after you make the eggplant do you store in a cool dry place 1st and then after a period of time like a month do you put them in the refrigerator because I've been watching different videos and yours has been my favorites.

I'm drooling for this..

When I'm getting the eggplant in the jar, I alternate eggplant, red preserved bell pepper and boiled (squeezed) red onions...it's amazing ! 😃

Subscribed already ! 😃

Just like family’s recipe. We used to place the eggplant in a large porcelain crockpot with a board and stone on top to help extract the water- old school stuff. Serve with crusty bread to soak up the oil, soprassata and olives- yum!

Great recipe, a refresh form my Nana. One correction. The eggplants with the line in the bottom are all females and the one with round dot are the male ones. It’s important not to have a lot of seeds on this recipe.

Thank you so much!!! Exactly how my grandmother used to make it
