Neapolitan Herb Grilled Eggplant

August 01, 2018

INGREDIENTS

• ⅓ cup loosely-packed flat-leaf parsley leaves
• ¼ cup Neapolitan Herb Dark Balsamic 
• ¼ cup + 2 Tbs. Ultra Premium extra virgin olive oil
• Kosher salt
• freshly-ground black pepper
• 1 medium eggplant (about ¾ pound), peeled and sliced about ⅓" thick

DIRECTIONS
In the bowl of a food processor or blender add the oil, Neapolitan Herb Dark Balsamic, parsley, salt, and pepper. Pulse to finely chop the parsley. Pour the marinade into a shallow dish and set aside.

Preheat an outdoor charcoal or gas grill or a grill pan until smoking hot. Brush the eggplant slices on each side with olive oil and then arrange the slices on the grill to cover it without crowding. Cook the eggplant until well marked, 3 to 6 minutes, then turn the slices over. Cook until tender, about 3 minutes more. 

Dip the hot slices into the marinade and set it aside on a plate. Continue grilling and dipping the eggplant until all the slices are cooked and seasoned. Spoon the rest of the marinade over the cooked eggplant and then cover the dish with plastic wrap and set aside to marinate at room temperature for about 2 hours.

Serve at room temperature.
