Slice the eggplants and generously sprinkle the eggplant slices with salt. Let them sweat (release moisture) for at least 1 hour. Rinse thoroughly to remove excess salt. In a pot, combine water, white vinager, salt and laurel. Add the eggplants and any other desired vegetable, like onions or paprika. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp. Transfer the vegetables to a bowl and discard the cooking liquid. Add your favorite spices like oregano, black pepper, and ground chili to taste. Drizzle generously with olive oil. Add a touch of sunflower oil to prevent the olive oil from solidifying in the fridge. Pack the seasoned vegetables into a clean jar. Refrigerate for at least a few hours before serving, allowing the flavors to develop. Enjoy
