Grilled Eggplant

Eggplant is another one of my favourite vegetables to cook. This Grilled Eggplant is addictive and taste great on it’s own or accompanying a meat dish.

I used a mandolin to slice these eggplants today, so I could get a uniform slice.
It is ideal to slice each eggplant and lay the slices in a colander, sprinkle salt on each layer and place a plate down on top and add a lot of weight (eg pile lots of plates or a heavy object) on top for 10 mins to let any bitter juices out of the slices. Then you can use the eggplant straight away.
