Grilled eggplants on the grill

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 20 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to bake eggplants on the grill? The main component for preparing the dish is eggplant. Wash the blue ones well, cut off the tails.

2. STEP 2

   

   Cut the vegetable into not too thick slices, make the thickness from 0.5 to 0.7 centimeters. You can also cut the blue ones into circles, then choose what you like best.

3. STEP 3

   

   Now let's start preparing sauces for greasing the finished eggplants. Prepare your favorite spices, tomato, vegetable oil, soy sauce and garlic.

4. STEP 4

   

   Pour soy sauce and vegetable oil into a small container.

5. STEP 5

   

   Peel the garlic and rinse under running water. Pass the cloves through a press or garlic press, or you can grate them on a fine grater (adjust the number of cloves to taste). Add the garlic to the soy sauce, add ground red pepper, dry basil and a pinch of nutmeg (these are the spices used in the recipe).

6. STEP 6

   

   Mix everything thoroughly.

7. STEP 7

   

   Prepare the second sauce in another container. Wash and dry the tomato. Cut the tomato in half and grate the pulp on a coarse grater, discard the peel (alternatively, you can use a blender). Take a tomato that is ripe, fleshy, and sweetish in taste, then the sauce will be richer. Add vegetable oil, finely grated garlic, salt and pepper to taste. I added another pinch of dry marjoram and just a little lemon juice.

8. STEP 8

   

   Mix everything well, taste and add missing ingredients if required.

9. STEP 9

   

   Leave the sauces to steep while you prepare everything else.

10. STEP 10

    

    Rinse the greens, dry with a towel and chop as finely as possible.

11. STEP 11

    

    Light the grill, wait until the wood burns out and good coals remain. Heat the grill on which you will fry the eggplants.

12. STEP 12

    

    Place the blue ones on the grill. Leave them until a nice golden color appears. This can take from one to several minutes (depending on how hot it is in the grill).

13. STEP 13

    

    Turn the eggplants over to the other side and leave on the coals until cooked. You can turn the pieces several times during cooking. You should focus primarily on softness and the appearance of an appetizing brown-golden color.

14. STEP 14

    

    Remove the finished blue ones into wire racks. Using a silicone brush, spread half the fried eggplants with the soy-garlic marinade.

15. STEP 15

    

    Sprinkle herbs on top.

16. STEP 16

    

    Spread the second part of the vegetables with tomato sauce and sprinkle with herbs.

17. STEP 17

    

    The grilled eggplants are ready to serve!

We love eggplants very much. I found a recipe for “grilled eggplants on the grill” and decided to try it. I cut fresh eggplants from the greenhouse into strips, I like it better that way. I cooked on a grill on a charcoal grill, turning the grill periodically. The eggplants were well baked on both sides, but they were not golden brown. I prepared two eggplant marinades as described in the recipe. The soy-garlic marinade turned out to be aromatic and spicy. I prepared tomato sauce from fresh tomatoes with khmeli-suneli and garlic. It came out more tender and with sourness due to lemon juice. I greased one half of the baked eggplants with soy marinade, and the other with tomato marinade. I sprinkled it with chopped parsley and dill and gave the eggplants time to soak in the aromas of the marinades. It was a great appetizer. And nourishing, and aromatic, and tasty, and healthy, and easy. The grilled eggplants turned out dense and meaty. We liked the eggplant with tomato sauce better, but it's a matter of taste. Wonderful recipe! I recommend trying it! Many thanks to the author 😊
