We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

We can do nothing, we say sometimes, we can only pray. That, we feel, is a terribly precarious second-best. So long as we can fuss and work and rush about, so long as we can lend a hand, we have some hope; but if we have to fall back upon God — ah, then things must be critical indeed!

INGREDIENTS

2 lb The long thin eggplant (chinese eggplant)
Salt
Clean white dishtowels
Chopped garlic to taste (1 tablespoon for the faint of heart)
Chopped fresh mint, handfull
Fresh Oregano, baby handful
2 tb Wine vinegar
Jar, one of those 1 pint wire hinged and snap down ones would be good. I use a pint canning jar.
Hot peppers to taste (may be varied- cracked pepper corns, anchovies, according to your urges)

INSTRUCTIONS

I am going to take this opportunity to expand and correct a recipe I gave
from memory (64 k) a few weeks ago.  This is from Marcella Hazen's
"Marcella's Italian Kitchen"
Peel the eggplant and cut into 1/4 inch square julienne strips salt heavily
and toss in a bowl - let steep for 12 hours or more. I like to pour off the
liquid 2 or 3 times and add a bit more salt.
Drain, take handfuls and put into the towel, squeeze thoroughly to remove
liquid.
You may now be amazed at how little eggplant is left.
In a bowl throughly mix eggplant, herbs, garlic and half the vinegar
Put the eggplant, strip by strip, in layers in the jar.  Don't be
compulsive about it or you will never get done.  Between layers put the
peppers or whatever pour in any remaining seasonings.
press eggplant down a bit with the back of a spoon or whatever will fit in
your jar.  Add olive oil to cover.
Eat now or let sit.  I refrigerate it.  Marcella says to use a good
vegetable oil if you want to keep it for a long time- up to a year.
