Does anyone know where I can get a recipe for this - the sort that is chargrilled, with a vinegar background but stored in olive oil? Previously bought jars in Tescos but they don't seem to stock it anymore so thought I would have a go at making my own. Thanks.

I make something similar eith courgettes, but I think it will work for aubergine too. slice the aubergine & fry in good oilve oil until lightly cooked. in a different pan heat a tablespoon of white whie vinegar and a little chilli. When the aubergines have finished frying put into a dish to cool, with the oil they were cooked in, then add the vinegar & chilli, season to taste. When cool put in a clean jar or similar with all the liquid & top up with a little oil if needed to cover the aubergines. they ae now ready to eat.

Thanks Chiara Cla, I'll give that a go. How long do you find the courgettes last? I'm thinking of doing some jars of antipasto possibly for Christmas gifts. Have already done the same with mushrooms.

Hi Mrs Woof Woof, I'm not really sure how long they last as we eat them within the week that I made them. I'll ask around & see if anyone here knows.
