Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1/2 cup lemon juice

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

4 medium garlic cloves -- minced

1 tablespoon minced fresh oregano leaves

Salt

Freshly ground black pepper

2 pounds eggplant -- Medium size (8-oz each)

 

1. Whisk the lemon juice, oil, garlic, oregano, and a generous sprinkling of

salt and pepper together in a small bowl.

 

2. Cut the eggplant into 3/4-inch thick rounds. Place the eggplant in a large

zipper lock bag, add the marinade, and seal the bag. Turn the bag several times

to coat the eggplant with the marinade. Set aside, turning the bag occasionally,

for 1 hour.

 

3. Light the grill. Grill the eggplant over a medium hot fire, turning once,

until the eggplant is dark and crusty, about 10 minutes. Transfer the eggplant

to a large platter. Serve hot or at room temperature.

NOTES : For this recipe, thick eggplant rounds are marinated in a heady mixture

of minced garlic, lemon Juice, olive oil, and minced oregano for an hour. The

eggplant is then grilled until crusty and dark. Make sure to cut the slices

quite thick so that the inside of each piece of eggplant remains creamy and soft

and provides a nice contrast to the grilled exterior. (Makes 4 side dish

servings)
