Instructions

  1. 1 Cut ends off and peel eggplants; cut into long strips about as big around as shoestring French fries. Place strips into a large bowl; stir in ½ cup coarse salt until evenly coated.
  2. 2 Place a sturdy dinner plate upside-down in a clean sink, making sure the drain is not blocked. Place a generous handful eggplant strips on center of the plate; cover with a second upside-down dinner plate to create an eggplant sandwich. Layer more eggplant strips and plates until all eggplant strips are sandwiched. Place an additional plate on top; press down firmly. Set a sturdy stockpot on top; fill with enough water to create some pressure on eggplant layers. (Not so much pressure that you break your dishes, though.) Set eggplant aside to press for 8 hours to overnight.
  3. 3 Fill a large bowl with ice water. Dismantle stack of plates, one layer at a time, briefly swish eggplant strips in ice water, then squeeze dry and place into a clean bowl. (If your hand starts to hurt, you are swishing too long.) Stir vinegar into eggplant strips; set aside for about 15 minutes.
  4. 4 Heat a splash of olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add garlic, oregano, pepper flakes, and ½ teaspoon sea salt; cook and stir until fragrant but do not cook garlic. Set aside to cool.
  5. 5 Squeeze eggplants very well so they don't end up tasting like pickles; place into a large bowl. Stir in garlic mixture and remaining olive oil until well blended. Pack into a sterilized 1-pint or ½-pint jars, filling to the top; top with any olive oil left in the bowl. Wipe rims with a clean, dry cloth, and seal tightly with new, sterilized lids.
  6. 6 Refrigerate before opening for at least 1 month.

  2. 2 Meanwhile, combine vinegar, water, and salt in a pot over medium heat; bring to a simmer.

Pour vinegar mixture into jars, filling to within 1/2 inch of the top. Run a clean knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims with a moist paper towel to remove any residue. Top with lids and screw rings on tightly.
  4. 4 Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars 2 inches apart into the boiling water using a holder. Pour in more boiling water to cover jars by at least 1 inch. Bring to a rolling boil, cover, and process for 10 minutes.
  5. 5 Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Press the center of each lid with a finger to ensure the lid does not move up or down. Remove the rings for storage and store in a cool, dark area.

  1. 1 Cut the cabbage leaves into 2 inch long pieces. Spread 1/4 of the leaves into a large, non-metallic bowl and sprinkle with 1/4 of the salt. Repeat layering all of the cabbage has been salted. Let stand at room temperature until a lot of liquid has been pulled from the leaves and the cabbage is tender, 3 to 4 hours; drain. Rinse the cabbage in 2 or 3 changes of water. Drain again very well and return the cabbage to the mixing bowl.
  2. 2 Sprinkle the cabbage with the minced garlic, green onions, MSG, and red pepper flakes. Season to taste with additional salt and toss until evenly combined. Pack the mixture into a sterilized gallon-sized glass jar. Cover the jar with wax paper and a loose fitting lid so the seal is not airtight.
