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.
  3. 3 Pack each sterilized jar with equal amounts of cauliflower, chile peppers, garlic, mustard seed, peppercorns, coriander seeds, dill seeds, allspice berries, red pepper flakes, and bay leaves. 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.
