    1 large, firm aubergine
    red wine vinegar
    water
    1 shallot, finely sliced
    2 cloves garlic, crushed

    METHOD

    Cut the aubergine into 1cm slices and place in a bowl. Mix together equal quantities of the vinegar and water and pour over enough to cover the aubergine. Add the shallot, garlic and salt. Submerge the aubergine by placing a plate on top. Leave to marinate for 2 hours.

    Drain and pat dry with paper towels. Preheat a barbecue or grill plate. Brush the eggplant with olive oil, salt and pepper and cook until tender.
