- 1 pound Eggplants
- 5 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons minced garlic
- 3 tablespoons white vinegar
- Juice of one lime
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 jalapeno
- ½ red bell pepper
- ¼ cup parsley chopped
Cut a slit through each eggplant but do not cut all the way through.
Brush eggplants with two tablespoons of oil and oven bake on 400F for 20 minutes turning them halfway through to the other side. Alternatively, you can air fry, pan-fry, or boil.
Add garlic, vinegar, salt, remaining oil, jalapeno, and bell pepper to a mini food processor and process.
Place eggplants in an airtight container, and stuff each one with part of the mixture.
Pour any remaining pickling mixture over and drizzle everything lightly with olive oil.
Put the lid on and refrigerate for a couple of days until pickled all the way through.
