Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Peel eggplant and cut into 3 x 1/2-inch rectangular sticks.
- To sweat the eggplants, toss the sticks with salt and place them in a colander over a bowl or sink. Let sit to drain for at least 4 hours, up to overnight. (If overnight, cover and keep the colander and bowl in the fridge.)
- Squeeze out as much of the remaining liquid from the eggplant sticks as possible by placing them in a clean kitchen towel and pressing vigorously over a bowl.
- In a medium saucepan, bring water and vinegar to a boil. Add eggplant and cook until tender, about 5 to 8 minutes.
- Drain eggplant in a colander, set a plate on top to weigh it down, and let drain for at least 4 hours, up to overnight. (Again, if overnight, cover and chill like you did when sweating the eggplant sticks.)
- Vigorously squeeze small handfuls of the eggplant with the help of a clean kitchen towel and remove as much liquid as possible.
- In a large bowl, toss eggplant with garlic, chile flakes, any herbs, if using, and 3/4 cup of the olive oil.
- Transfer eggplant to a 1-quart jar, add enough olive oil to cover the eggplant, cover with a lid, and chill overnight before serving. When ready to serve, bring to room temperature before serving; any leftover marinated eggplant will last up to one week refrigerated.

- Whisk together vinegar, sugar, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt in a small bowl until sugar is dissolved. Stir in garlic and mint.
- Heat oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then fry eggplant, about 8 slices at a time, until cooked through and pale golden, about 1 minute per side. Transfer eggplant as fried to paper towels to drain, then transfer to a large shallow dish, overlapping slices slightly. Spoon some of vinegar mint mixture over each batch.

Steps:
- 1 Trim the tops and bottoms of the eggplants. Cut the eggplants crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Arrange the slices in a colander, sprinkling each layer with salt. Place the eggplant over a plate to drain for at least 30 minutes. Rinse off the salt with cool water and dry the slices with paper towels. 2 Preheat the oven to 450°F. Brush the eggplant slices with the oil and arrange them oiled-side down in a single layer on cookie sheets. Brush the tops with oil. Bake the slices for 10 minutes. Turn and bake until browned and tender, about 10 minutes more. 3 In a shallow plastic container with a tight-fitting lid, make a layer of the eggplant slices, overlapping them slightly. Sprinkle with vinegar, garlic, mint, and pepper. Repeat the layering until all of the ingredients are used. 4 Cover and refrigerate for at least 24 hours before serving.

From Epicurious. Time does not include chilling time. A lot of reviews baked the eggplant rather than fried it.
