Eggplant (Aubergine) on the Grill
"Of course you can broil this too, but it tastes best with that little bit of char from the grill. Don't peel the eggplant, it would get too soft without the skin. Another vintage Gourmet mag recipe."

This was wonderful. I used this in some great egglant sandwiches for a meat free meal. The garlic, onion and spices were fantastic choices and seasoned this perfectly. I grilled these up on my outdoor grill and then froze the extra for a quick fix, go to meal. OAMC style. I placed the grilled slices on a metal cooling rack and placed them in the freezer so they were individually frozen. Then popped into a zip top freezer bag. This way each slice stays separated and you can easily remove as many or as few as you need. Made for PAC. Thanks Grafeetee! -

I am a retired proofreader and graphic designer. Lifelong love of cooking (and eating, too, of course!). It's wonderful for stress relief. Nurtures the soul as well as the body. I'd call my style "international comfort food."
