I commend you on speeding up the video. you showed the step and then you moved on to the next step show it and then move on to the next step not spending time letting us watch you slice up slice up slice up. great job another thing I did was squeezed out the excess water after it drained overnight then I followed your steps of one part vinegar what part water to cover and cook the eggplant. I like your ideal of using old jars cuz I save all my old jars because why not and I have a bunch and I use them this way I can pick out the size the quantity I want. sometimes I use small half pint canning jars because that's all I really eat at one time or over a week or so. thanks again for speeding up the video you speak well I'm I'm impressed I'm going to become a member of your site so I can see what else you have for us thank you again!
Okay this is something I really need to try! I love pickled veggies and I’ve never done eggplant. I don’t eat much eggplant but that’s because I’m not sure what to do with it. Well done my friend, this is terrific!
@@ThePotThickens Delicious, I used thyme instead of oregano and blanched it less than a minute to sanitise but keep it firm. It surely needs more fermenting time but it's exactly what I expected. Oh boy, I have a flavorful snack for the winter and I'll make some more while we still have eggplants. Thanks again for the idea.
This is my new favorite channel! I’m binging your videos. You are going to be instrumental in helping me shift from my vegetarian diet to a vegan one! ❤️
I am new to your channel and I got really excited when I saw your recipe for Melanzane Sott'olio. This is exactly how my Nonna made it in Italy. Thank you so much! It brought back wonderful memories.
I have been researching how to preserve my eggplant and I like this - it sounds delicious. I have a hint: if you heat the olive oil (NOT BOIL!) and pour the heated oil over the goods, it will last longer in the jar. I do this with my dried tomatoes and it works really well.
Yum? Have you ever made vegan pickled herring with eggplant? Using a similar method you did, except you don't have to peel them, and you use a pickled herring brine. It's remarkable!
I know this video is a bit old but this is exactly how I was taught over 40 years ago, I have a picture of me eating this on top of bread when I was 3, no one in my family has ever gotten sick from them. I just watched & commented on another video that used the longer method, then added fresh 😱😱basil, celery, cilantro and green onions and canola oil in the jar😵💫
I would leave out the olive oil and just use the brine. Also I like to use apple cider vinegar & stuff. The cold fridge method last three to four weeks.😎👍
So I used Balsamic vinegar instead and added diced sun-dried tomatoes and a bit of lemon juice ........ came out amazing and a bit sweeter ,,,,give it a try 😬
I think I let my eggplant sit in the vinegar for too long. I've already put the oil in before tasting it can they be fixed so they aren't as vinegary? Lol
After watching half a dozen of videos (some of them with thousand likes) I must say: this is the most clear presentation! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching.

I need more information with this video, so the speed is okay for me.
Great video. I've been wanting to pickle eggplant for 50 years.
Awesome! Thanks for commenting.

Well, I give all the credit to Italy for this deliciousness!
It is so good on a sandwich with crusty Italian bread!!!
Gonna make that tomorrow, I'm so into fermenting jars but never thought about making an eggplant pickle. Thanks for this great idea.
Tha is. Let me know how it turns out.

Thanks this is very traditional in Italy.

Thanks. Not hard at all.
Beautiful! I have watched many video on youtube and omg what a mess they make!

Hmm, that sounds interesting. Isn't the skin tough if you leave it on?
@@ThePotThickens it turned out fine for me. I can't find the recipe right now, but this is similar: agentvegan.com/recipes/pickled-eggplant
@@ThePotThickens maybe the skin softens during the boiling process.

Thanks for sharing!
My mom loved putting capers in her eggplant jars. Have you tried it with capers? Not sure how much to add.
No but it sounds great! Thanks for the suggestion.
Hey just wondering why do you take the peels off is it because it'll be better or like some other reason
Because they are tough to chew.
I would leave out the olive oil and just use the brine. Also I like to use apple cider vinegar & stuff. The cold fridge method last three to four weeks.😎👍
Thanks. Good suggestions. I wanted to present a recipe that was as authentic Italian as possible.
@@ThePotThickens also excellent JAZZ music in the background not too loud I like that. ...........😎👍
@@tcapo514 Thanks!
Did you squeeze them again after boiling?
No. I drain it on a towel while it cools but I don’t squeeze it.
Thanks, I will do that :)
Awesome.
oh noh! you are now my fave channel sweetie. I saw a lot here!
Awe. Thanks.
@@ThePotThickens You're always welcome. Forever supporter here!
So I used Balsamic vinegar instead and added diced sun-dried tomatoes and a bit of lemon juice ........
came out amazing and a bit sweeter ,,,,give it a try 😬
Sounds great!
My mother showed me how to do that but she layered eggplant garlic oil until jar is full . And put right into refrigerator.after a month enjoy.
Sounds good.
I think I let my eggplant sit in the vinegar for too long. I've already put the oil in before tasting it can they be fixed so they aren't as vinegary? Lol
I'm not sure. I would see how well it cures. Then maybe eat it with foods that will diminish the tartness.
can you pickle w the skin on?
Maybe? I’ve never done that and I don’t think it is traditional in Italy. But it would probably be ok.
She mean’s pickled eggplant
THanks.
