Grilled Eggplant

Ingredients

Preparation

1
Cut the eggplant into 1/2-inch slices crosswise. Sprinkle both sides of the slices with salt. Place the slices in a colander and allow to drain for 30 minutes. Rinse the slices with cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
2
Brush the slices with the infused oil. Grill over medium-high heat for a couple of minutes on both sides. Baste with the oil while grilling.

Comments: I really think eggplant is one of the most delicious vegetables available. Many Americans turn up their noses at this great purple egg-shaped jewel, but I think they would be quickly converted if they would simply learn to cook this vegetable properly.
4
The secret to getting rid of the bitterness is to salt the flesh and allow it to drain for about a half hour. The salt is then rinsed from the eggplant and you are ready to cook. This works every time.
5
Try this dish on your barbecue as well as on your kitchen grill.
