  1.  Cook the eggplants in boiling water for 20 minutes. 

  2.  Put the eggplants in a strainer for 5 hours, so that all its juice seeps
       out.

  3.  Place the eggplants on a dry cloth, cover them with another cloth, and
       let them dry out for 10 hours.

  4.  Mix with hot peppers with garlic.

  5.  Cut a deep notch along the length of each eggplant (leave ½ inch on
       either side uncut)

  6.  Put 1 Tsp of the hot peppers and garlic mixture in the notch of each
       eggplant.

  7.  Pack the eggplants into the jar, add 5 cups of boiled water,
      1 cup red wine vinegar and the kosher salt. Cover it all with
       olive oil.

  8.  Close the jar well. The pickling process will take 2 weeks, and then
       your pickled eggplants will be ready (don't open jar beforehand, it
       will ruin the pickling process)

 Best Served With: Hummus Dip
