Instructions

  1. Slice the eggplant around 1/4 inch thickness, sprinkle with a little salt (only enough to season don't over do it) and set aside for 30 minutes until they have released some water. Rinse the eggplant slices and pat dry with a paper towel.
  2. Lightly brush the eggplant on each side with olive oil. Place on a hot griddle pan until soft ( you can do this using a normal frying pan too) set aside to cool slightly.
  3. To make the marinade, finely chop the garlic, mint and chili (seeds removed) add to 80ml of olive oil with the red wine vinegar and oregano, stir.
  4. When the eggplant has cooled add a layer of the eggplant slices on a serving plate or bowl. Drizzle over 1 tbsp of the marinade then continue until all the slice and marinade has been used up. If there is extra marinade left, pour it over the final layer.
  5. Eat straight away with salad, or as an antipasto. Alternativley leave to marinade for 6 hours to overnight for the eggplant to soak up the flavours even more.
