Gardens  are bursting with eggplant  these days & Chris Brown just came up with an inventive and delicous way to enjoy them. These are very different from anything you’ve tasted before!

Garlic Infused Eggplant

Six servings

  • 2 large eggplant
  • 3-4 cloves of garlic
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 -3 tablespoons sea salt

Slice eggplants keeping the skins on.

Peel the garlic.

Crush cloves with end of knife.

Slice into small-medium sized pieies.

Press the garlic all over  slices…pushing it into the eggplant.

Brush oilive oil on both sides.

Salt the garlic side.

Grill the garlic sides up 5 minutes.

Flip over and grill five more minutes until they’re done.

If grilling isn’t an option, this could certainly be done in a frying pan, too.

These were so aromatic that we all had to taste them right off the grill.They were superb. We let them sit a bit while we prepared the rest of the meal. They tasted even better after the flavors melded together a bit more.

We served this with a fresh tomato sauce and pasta, as well as a green salad.
