Instructions
Combine eggplant and salt in a large bowl. Nest another bowl on top of the eggplant and weigh it down with a few canned goods (beans or tomatoes work well); set aside for 1 hour.
Transfer eggplant to a fine mesh strainer and rinse off the salt under cold running water while tossing the eggplant with your hands. Press out any excess water, spread the eggplant in a single layer on a baking sheet, and pat dry with paper towels.
Combine vinegar and red pepper flakes in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Add eggplant and simmer for 2 minutes.
Remove from heat and let eggplant stand in vinegar for 10 minutes.
Add remaining ingredients and stir to combine.
Transfer to a 1-quart container with a tightfitting lid.
Let cool to room temperature, cover, and refrigerate at least 3 days before serving.
