Grilled Eggplant
Why just the other evening, TB and her friend Ada Kay had me grill up some eggplant for ‘em. They prepped it, and I did the grillin’.
So what you do is fire up your grill and then work on the rest.
Find yourself a large sized ‘plant and slice it crosswise in half inch thick sections.
Then you make up the baste using some olive oil, balsamic vinegar and a pinch of some’um or other like dill, and thyme, and basil and oregano, whatever your perclivity.
You can salt and pepper it too. Some folk mince up some garlic. We don’t.
Anyway, wisk whatcha want in a bowl and then brush it onto the sides of the eggplant slices.
Lay the sides out on your hot grill and cook ‘em 5 to 8 minutes a side depending on how hot your grill is and whether you want a bit of char. TB don’t take to char too well.
Now some folk’ll eat it right off the grill without more. Other folk like to use a dippin’ sauce, featuring yogurt or such. Myself, I can’t eat eggplant without Tabasco sauce and a nice char to it.
Bon a’tite!
