Pickled eggplant is a classic that never goes out of style. It works wonderfully in bruschetta or salad format and it can also be a garnish for roasted and baked meats.
It is key to choose good seasonings and not skimp when flavoring the oil. Chopped or powdered garlic, peppercorns and bay leaves are three of the faithful companions that should not be missing from the jar. If you are looking for a good result, yes or yes you have to start from good raw materials.
