Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to bake eggplants on the grill? The main component for preparing the dish is eggplant. Wash the blue ones well, cut off the tails.

Step 2

Step 2
Cut the vegetable into not too thick slices, make the thickness from 0.5 to 0.7 centimeters. You can also cut the blue ones into circles, then choose what you like best.

Step 3

Step 3
Now letʼs start preparing sauces for greasing the finished eggplants. Prepare your favorite spices, tomato, vegetable oil, soy sauce and garlic.

Step 4

Step 4
Pour soy sauce and vegetable oil into a small container.

Step 5

Step 5
Peel the garlic and rinse under running water. Pass the cloves through a press or garlic press, or you can grate them on a fine grater (adjust the number of cloves to taste). Add the garlic to the soy sauce, add ground red pepper, dry basil and a pinch of nutmeg (these are the spices used in the recipe).

Step 6

Step 6
Mix everything thoroughly.

Step 7

Step 7
Prepare the second sauce in another container. Wash and dry the tomato. Cut the tomato in half and grate the pulp on a coarse grater, discard the peel (alternatively, you can use a blender). Take a tomato that is ripe, fleshy, and sweetish in taste, then the sauce will be richer. Add vegetable oil, finely grated garlic, salt and pepper to taste. I added another pinch of dry marjoram and just a little lemon juice.

Step 12

Place the blue ones on the grill. Leave them until a nice golden color appears. This can take from one to several minutes (depending on how hot it is in the grill).

Step 13

Step 13
Turn the eggplants over to the other side and leave on the coals until cooked. You can turn the pieces several times during cooking. You should focus primarily on softness and the appearance of an appetizing brown-golden color.
