Sicilian Eggplant (Aubergine)

Found this tasty dish in a diet pamphlet. Just made a few changes to suit me. I have cut out the salt and upped the vinegar, which might be too strong for some. You can cut the vinegar in half and add some salt without disturbing the outcome too much. I love it just as it is written though.
