Wash the eggplants and peel them. Cut the eggplant into thin slices or matches. Arrange on a plate by spacing a layer of eggplant and a handful of salt. Cover and pressed with a weight. Wait at least 12 hours, then squeeze the eggplant and dry with a clean cloth or with a potato masher.
Put the eggplant in a pan and pour the high-sided vinegar and 2 liters of water. Bring to a boil and cook for another five minutes.

Once cooled, squeeze carefully the eggplants and place them in glass jars, sterilized, incorporating olive oil, garlic, cut into thin pieces, oregano and pepper. Press and add more extra virgin olive oil if necessary.
