Japanese Eggplant……… Hot off the grill
This is the first year that I have grown eggplant and I must say….. What was I thinking…. the plant has performed just outstanding and has produced fruit after purple fruit. Son Luke invited me over for dinner last night (Antlelope steak from Wyoming) and gave me a beckon. With basket in hand I headed out into the garden to provide crunchies for the salad and the eggplant for the grill. I marinated the eggplant in a wonderful combination of extra virgin olive oil, crushed garlic, grated ginger, basil, thyme, chives, salt, fresh ground pepper, plus a couple of shakes of pepper flakes. I let the eggplant wander in the marinate for about an hour before it hit the grill. If you are wondering how it was….. I looked in the dictionary and the words have not been created yet…… Hot Dang I must save that recipe……….. Happy Summer Grilling.. Doug
