Ingredients

• ✓ garlic clove
• corned beef brisket
• spice packet
• beer
• peppercorn
• bay leaf

Instructions

1. 1 Place briskets into a large pot. Sprinkle one spice packet over top; discard remaining spice packet or save for another use. Pour in beer, then add enough water to cover briskets by 1 inch. Add peppercorns, garlic, and bay leaves, cover, and bring to a boil.
2. 2 Reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer, checking hourly and adding more water if necessary to keep briskets covered, until meat is tender and can be easily pulled apart with a fork, at least 4 hours or up to 5.
3. 3 Carefully transfer briskets to a cutting board; let rest until they firm up a bit, about 10 minutes. Slice or shred meat, then place onto a platter for serving. Discard cooking liquid or save it for another use.

Ingredients

• ✓ garlic clove
• eggplant
• salt
• white vinegar
• olive oil
• oregano
• red pepper flake
• salt

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.
