Eggplant

Simple. Delicious. An awesome antipasti. Here's a recipe from Maria Proto:

Ingredients:
4-6 eggplants
5 Tbs sea salt
1 cup olive oil
2-3 tsp red wine vinegar
4 diced garlic cloves
1/4 tsp oregano

Peel and slice eggplant vertically into long 1/4 inch slices (thin). In a medium sized pan turn heat onto medium high and sprinkle 2 eggplant slices on both sides with salt and fry in the pan (without oil) until brown and soft (turning 1-2 times during cooking). Once eggplant is slightly browned and soft transfer into a bowl which has the remaining ingredients already mixed together (olive oil, red wine vinegar, garlic and oregano). Let the eggplant marinate about 5 minutes in the olive oil mixture, then remove and transfer to a serving dish. Repeat until all eggplant is cooked and marinated. Serve as a side dish or with bread.
