Ingredients
- 3 pounds eggplant, cut into 1/2-inch slices
- 3 tablespoons coarse salt, plus more for serving
- 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- Freshly ground pepper
Directions
-
Sprinkle eggplant slices with salt on both sides. Place in a colander set over a bowl; let stand 1 hour to drain. Discard liquid; rinse eggplant slices under cold running water. Place on several layers of paper towels, and press out water.
-
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Generously brush both sides of eggplant slices with oil; sprinkle with pepper. Place on grill, and cook until browned, 5 to 6 minutes. Flip eggplant slices, and cook until browned on bottom. Serve hot, drizzled with olive oil and sprinkled with salt and pepper.
This is great, just an idea, those who like parmarsiana-ramono cheese, freshly grate some over the hot eggplant just before servering. Yum Oh!!! Or grate some orange and lemon peal on top before serving, gives a real fresh taste.
I love grilled eggplant, I usually splash a little balsamic vineger on top with the olive oil. Delicious!!
