directions

  • Slice a bit off the skin side of the eggplant so they lie flat, and score both sides in a criss-cross pattern.
  • Heat your grill to medium.
  • Combine hoisin and oil, and whisk vigorously, set aside.
  • Brush both sides of your eggplant halves with 1/2 tablespoon oil, and season with salt.
  • Grilled until charred and tender, approximately 5-7 minutes.
  • With a brush, generously coat both sides of eggplant with the reserved hoisin/oil mixture.
  • Return eggplant to grill and allow to glaze 1 minute per side, no more, as it will burn.
  • Serve immediately!
  • ENJOY!

  1. very great!
     
  2. Mmmmm...so simple, but so good. I did not mix my hoisin sauce with oil and it seemed to stick fine. It is a really strong taste but soooo good! I sprinkled my eggplant with salt a bit before grilling and rinsed to draw out the "bitter juices" (Or so I've heard) and grilled inside on my tabletop:o)
     
  3. Really good. I happen to love eggplant with garlic, so I mashed 1 garlic clove into the oil and brushed the eggplants with this before grilling. Perfect with the hoisin sauce.
