The eggplants in oil, seasoned with peppers, oregano, garlic, chili pepper and an addition of extra virgin olive oil, are a typical Italian recipe, particularly in the region of Campania. They are a tasty side dish on their own or can be used as a base for delicious appetizers, but they can also be excellent in sandwiches, as a snack, or as a topping for pizza. They also pair perfectly with meat and are exceptional on bruschetta.
