    Those look so good...we make a Middle Eastern version with the very small eggplant. The eggplant are stuffed with walnuts, garlic, chili peppers, salt, olive oil. Heaven in a jar!

      Yes my parents used to do those "makdous" but never had the courage to try it myself. Walked around for days with heavy garlic breath and pores lol
      Delicious.
      These preserves that Laura just made, I eat regularly bug I purchase them in jars. Grew up with them.

    Hi Laura. I make eggplant with the small and thin oriental eggplants. With a sharp knife I make a slit on one side of the eggplant almost to the center. Then I boil them in salted water for one minute and drain them. I also boil strands of baby celery without the leaves. Then I stuff the eggplants with a finely chopped mixture of celery leaves, garlic, carrot, salt, pepper. I tie them with the celery strands and place them tightly in a bowl. I add enough vinegar to cover the whole thing and leave it for 8 hours. Then I drain out the vinegar and add enough oil to cover it. I use olive oil because we have olive trees. I keep it all year long.

    My parents are from northern Italy and since moving to the U.S they learned how to make these from their southern and sicilian friends. These are great and awesome. Some ladies do not remove the eggplant skin which can make the eggplant more tuff and some cut in circles which is hard to eat. We peel and cut ours like Laura. We also add a few sliced carrots in the mix .One of my mothers friends even does this with green tomatoes uses her end of season tomatoes from the garden taste just as great.

    • @chelinfusco6403
      @chelinfusco6403 6 лет назад

      I know you posted this 2 years ago, but I just now read it. About the green tomatoes, are they boiled for one minute too? Do you add these to the eggplant or just can separately? Goodness, I have green tomatoes which I would like to prepare other than Salsa Verde. First time growing Eggplant and I will try this. Thanks.

  • @lauriesproject
    @lauriesproject 4 года назад +1

    I don’t boil the water/vinegar mixture. Just let the eggplant sit in the unheated liquid for 30 minutes then squeeze out the extra liquid and jar as you demonstrated. Also, I use olive oil.

    A tip I have is to buy male eggplants they have less seeds. The way you can tell is look at the bottom of the eggplant. If the end is a dash "l" its a female. And if its a dot or circle its a male. I hope this helps

    I made these 5 months ago, and they are absolutely delicious. I just opened the last jar. This is the first time a jar has fizzed and bubbled over when i opened it. Obviously some fermentation has occurred, which might be beneficial, but I wanted to check first because I don't want to die trying it.

    Laura, I visited my Italian friend in Roma this summer and her Nonna made these amazing eggplants .. they were unpeeled, cut really really thin and then somehow grilled in the pan, after that put into the oven until they got really soft and then seasoned with stuff I don't know including olive oil, vinegar, basil and garlic .. do you maybe know what they are called and maybe even know how to prepare it? These eggplants rocked my world and I would love to recreate them ..

  • @montrealstars60
    @montrealstars60 5 лет назад +1

    Do you have coarse salt in the States? We use this one so that the salt doesn't penetrate in the eggplants making them too salty in the end. And can I tell you something else we do in Italy. Well back then my mom used water and white wine vinegar because they didn't have the possibility to use white wine, now it's done with equal parts of white wine and white wine vinegar because they noticed that the eggplants are less soggy.
    BTW I sterilize my jars for 20 min before filling and 10 minutes of processing, but then everyone does as they prefer. I'm so petrified of botulinum toxin.

  • @BobSmith-zj5lt
    @BobSmith-zj5lt 5 лет назад +2

    Laura, you did not squeeze the water out of the eggplants. No where in my family throughout Italy is this made that way. Also, extra virgin olive oil is the only oil used. the jars never require refrigeration. They are preserved in olive oil.

  • @lottatroublemaker6130
    @lottatroublemaker6130 4 года назад

    You should put your jam jars in cold water with dishwashing detergent until the label is soaked all the way through. Then to make removing the label and glue a breeze, you use a sharp knife (or even better, a ceramic stovetop scraper) to scrape off all the glue and label. Then you’ll have jars to use for years that looks clean and pretty. Much more hygienic too, IMHO (can’t clean jars properly with leftover glue and paper stuck to them)... 😊 PS! This eggplant dish looks sooooo delicious! 😋
