Heat 1 inch of oil in medium sized frying pan and fry eggplant rounds until golden brown, set aside on paper towels.
Drain oil from frying pan, leaving about a tablespoon of oil still in the pan. Place the red pepper and garlic in the pan and sauté until soft, about 3 minutes.
Add the eggplant rounds back into pan, adding vinegar, salt and pepper and cook for about 2 minutes.
