Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium aubergines (eggplants)
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup fresh parsley leaves
- 0.5 cup fresh coriander leaves
- 0.25 cup fresh mint leaves
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 large garlic clove
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
Instructions
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium heat.
Slice the aubergines into 1/2-inch thick rounds and brush both sides with 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
Sprinkle salt and black pepper on both sides of the aubergine slices.
Place the aubergine slices on the preheated grill and cook for about 5-7 minutes per side, until they are tender and have nice grill marks.
While the aubergines are grilling, prepare the herb dressing. Finely chop the parsley, coriander, and mint leaves and place them in a small bowl.
Mince the garlic clove and add it to the bowl along with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, and red wine vinegar. Stir to combine and season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
Once the aubergines are cooked, transfer them to a serving platter.
Drizzle the herb dressing generously over the grilled aubergines.
Garnish with a few extra chopped herbs if desired and serve warm or at room temperature.
