Ah, the many ways to enjoy eggplant. I love the new pickled eggplant recipe I found. It's pretty basic, involves red wine vinegar, garlic, oregano and olive oil and is a refrigerator pickle. Pretty mild and oh so tasty, especially for garlic lovers. It's dynamite on grilled homemade bread. I posted the recipe in the Cookbook forum under Okra and Eggplant :
