🧂 Ingredients

1 Bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil. While it is heating, chop
off the ends of the aubergines, rinse and dry them and cut lengthwise in
quarters.
2 Slice the flesh lengthwise into strips, cutting these in half if they are very
long. Soak in a large bowl of lightly salted water for about 10 minutes or until
the water turns a brownish-grey colour.
3 Drain the aubergine strips and blanch in the saucepan of boiling water for 1 1/2
minutes. Drain again and spread out in a single layer on a clean cloth; cover
with another cloth and blot dry.
4 Place the aubergine strips in a wide, shallow serving dish, sprinkle with the
very thinly sliced garlic, the finely chopped or crumbled chilli pepper, oregano
and a little salt and pepper.
5 Sprinkle with the vinegar and about 4 tbsp olive oil.
6 Stir and leave to marinate for at least 30 minutes before serving
