Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Aubergines (Eggplants)
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Fresh parsley
- 0.25 cup Fresh basil leaves
- 0.25 cup Fresh mint leaves
- 1 large Garlic clove
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Red wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Slice the aubergines into 1/2-inch thick rounds. Brush both sides of each slice with olive oil and season with salt and black pepper.
Place the aubergine slices on the preheated grill. Grill for about 5-7 minutes on each side until they are tender and have nice grill marks.
While the aubergines are grilling, prepare the herb dressing. In a food processor, combine the parsley, basil, mint, and garlic. Pulse until finely chopped.
Add the lemon juice, red wine vinegar, and water to the herb mixture. Process until you get a smooth dressing. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Once the aubergines are cooked, remove them from the grill and arrange them on a serving platter.
Drizzle the herb dressing over the grilled aubergines before serving.
Serve warm or at room temperature.
