Grilled Marinated Eggplants

A web-exclusive recipe from Italian Cooking and Living

  • 2 large eggplants, cut in 1/4-inch-thick slices

  • salt

  • 3 garlic cloves, sliced

  • ½ cup parsley, coarsely chopped

  • freshly ground pepper

  • 2 cups extra-virgin olive oil

    Place the eggplant slices in a colander, sprinkle liberally with salt, place a weight on top and let drain for about 1 hour (this will eliminate the eggplants' excess water). Pat the eggplant slices dry with paper towels. Heat the grill or a stove-top griddle well. Grill the slices for about 3 minutes on each side. Set aside. Layer the slices in a bowl or a large, deep square container, interspersing each layer with slices of garlic and parsley, and a drizzle of the olive oil. If any olive oil remains, pour it on top of the piled layers. Cover and let rest in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving. This dish will last for at least a week in the refrigerator, and is perfect as a side to meats or for a quick pasta sauce. Serves 6
