grilled eggplants

Smoky fire-roasted eggplants served with sautéed green onions, garlic, and chili. Delicious with bread, crackers, or with steamed white rice!

Grilled Eggplant with Green Onions

Chinese eggplants

green onions

tbsp oil

soy sauce

water

garlic

Thai chili (minced, optional)

tsp sugar

tsp salt

Rinse and dry the eggplants. Using a thin knife or a fork, prick each eggplant 6-8 times all over. This will ensure the steam will escape. It will also help the flesh get a smokier aroma.

Line your gas range with aluminum foil, keeping the burners exposed. This step will make the cleaning process easier and faster.

Place the eggplants on a grilling basket over a gas stove with an open flame. Turn the burner on medium heat.

Grill the eggplants for 25-30 minutes, flipping and rotating each eggplant from time to time to ensure they are cooked evenly. The eggplants should be completely black with a flaky skin and a very tender flesh.

Remove from heat and transfer to a plate. Let it cool for 20-30 minutes.

In the meantime, heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the chopped green onions and cook for one minute. Transfer the cooked green onions as well as the cooking oil to a small bowl.

Prepare the sauce: in a small bowl, stir together the soy sauce, water, garlic, chili, sugar, and salt.

Once the eggplants are cool enough to handle, peel them using your hands. Don&#39;t worry if there are still some bits of dark skin left. Arrange the peeled eggplants on a plate.

Using a fork, slightly mash the flesh. Drizzle with the sauce and top with the green onions (and the oil). Serve with crusty bread or with steamed white rice!

Grilling the Eggplants

Excellent!!! This recipe is added to our favorites. Perfect served with rice and soy sauce with some very thinly sliced chili. We will make it again next weekend 😎. Thank you!

Thanks Thomas. My husband really enjoyed and thought it was very good. Something about it was hard on my stomach ... it could be the oil as I have been avoiding oil in my cooking lately. Not sure. The texture was really nice. Any tips on how to get nice tender eggplant when making a curry?

I’d never tried to make any dishes with eggplants before. So, I had my doubts before trying to make it. To my surprise, it tasted wonderful. I still can’t believe how nice it was! You’re amazing!

Charred eggplants in olive oil is the perfect Middle Eastern entree.

Step 1

For the dressing, combine 1/4 cup (60ml) water with all the ingredients, except the oil, in a blender and whiz, scraping down the sides occasionally, until finely chopped but not pureed. Gradually pour in the oil and whiz until combined. Season to taste and set aside until ready to use.

Step 2

Preheat a lightly greased chargrill pan or barbecue to high. Chargrill eggplant, turning frequently, for 40-45 minutes until the skin is crisp and brittle and the centre is soft. Place on a large tray and stand until cool enough to handle. Peel the blackened skin, retaining the shape of the eggplant as much as possible.

Step 3

Spoon a generous amount of makdous dressing on a serving dish, then arrange the eggplants on top and drizzle with pomegranate molasses. Scatter over the crushed walnuts, Aleppo pepper, zaatar and herbs. Serve with chargrilled pita bread alongside.
