    Utensils Used
    | 1. Pick a ripe but firm eggplant from the garden. | 2. Wash, peel and then cut into big chunks. | 3. Squeeze liberal amounts of lemon over the top then coarsely grate with a cheese grater. Cover immediately with rock salt. | 4. Add more lemon juice which helps stop the eggplant turning brown and put it in the fridge. | 5. After 24 hours, remove the eggplant from the rock salt. Do not wash the salt off - just shake off the excess. | 6. Cover with red wine vinegar and leave for 24 hours in the fridge. | 7. Strain and leave the eggplant in a colander for a couple of hours to get rid of the moisture. | 8. Toss with fresh oregano, raw garlic and olive oil. | 9. Keep aside for a half day and then put into sterilised jars. Needs to have sufficient olive oil to cover all of the eggplant. | 10. This lasts for months. | 11. Add parsley just before serving. | 12. Use straight as part of an antipasto platter or make an eggplant sauce by frying in butter as an accompaniment to meat. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
