Eggplants on a charcoal grill

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 15 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to fry eggplants on coals? Prepare everything you need. Wash the eggplants and dry with paper towels or a kitchen towel.

2. STEP 2

   

   Prepare the marinade. In a small container, mix tomato paste, vegetable oil, honey, soy sauce and garlic powder. If necessary, add salt to taste, but remember that soy sauce itself is salty. I usually don't use salt. Instead of tomato paste, it is permissible to use good quality ketchup for the recipe.

3. STEP 3

   

   Cut the blue ones into circles about 1.5-2 cm thick.

4. STEP 4

   

   Using a silicone brush, coat each circle with marinade on both sides. Leave the eggplants to marinate, and at this time prepare the grill.

5. STEP 5

   

   Light the wood in the grill. Wait until they burn out. When the coals remain, level them using available tools (for example, a poker). Make a thin layer of coals. We will fry the eggplants on the grill.

6. STEP 6

   

   Grease a clean, dry baking rack with vegetable oil using a cotton pad. Place the eggplants on a wire rack. Bake, turning constantly, until done.

7. STEP 7

   

   The blue ones fry very quickly. The time depends on the degree of heat in the grill. It took me about 5-7 minutes for the eggplant to cook completely. The dish can be served as is, but I suggest making a garlic dressing for the eggplants.

8. STEP 8

   

   In a separate container, mix vegetable oil and garlic. The garlic can be finely chopped by hand or put through a garlic press.

9. STEP 9

   

   Using a silicone brush, apply a small amount of garlic dressing to each circle. Sprinkle the eggplants with finely chopped herbs. Dill, young green onions, parsley or cilantro are good herbs. You can mix several types of herbs.

For lunch at the picnic, we fried eggplants on a grill over coals. This is a very good, tasty and healthy side dish! Goes great with meat. I prepared the eggplants at home in advance. I cut the fruits into circles, salted them and after 20 minutes quickly rinsed them with water. Then I patted the eggplants with paper towels and coated both sides with sauce. I really liked the taste of the sauce. Sweetish from honey, with a salty aftertaste of soy sauce and a tantalizing aroma of garlic! It is thick and easy to apply to eggplant slices. They marinated for about two hours in a bag while we drove to our vacation spot. After roasting over charcoal, we got delicious eggplants! They did not become sour or dry, the consistency was the golden mean. The sauce was soaked in perfectly, very tasty! Thanks for the recipe!

A great recipe for tender fried eggplants on a charcoal grill. Easy, fast, tasty A simple recipe for very tender, slightly spicy, fried eggplants. I really love any eggplant - fried, stewed, baked, unlike my husband and daughter. But eggplants prepared in this way conquered even their picky tastes. Thank you very much for the recipe!
