Here, grilled eggplant is simply dressed with vinegar, olive oil, parsley and paprika. You really don’t need to do much to it.

Ingredients

  • 2 large eggplants, cut into 1½ cm slices

  • ½ cup olive oil

  • 6 cloves garlic, peeled and roughly chopped

  • 1 tbsp sherry vinegar (or red wine vinegar)

  • 1 tbsp roughly chopped parsley

  • ½ tsp smoked paprika

Method

  1. Step 1

    Heat your barbecue over high heat, brush the eggplants with a little oil and season with salt. Grill the eggplants for about 8 minutes, turning once or twice, until softened and browned.

  2. Step 2

    While the eggplant is cooking, place a small saucepan on the barbecue (or over medium heat on your stove) and add the remaining olive oil and the garlic. Cook the garlic for about 3-5 minutes until just starting to brown. Remove from the heat and stir through the sherry vinegar and parsley.

  3. Step 3

    Arrange the eggplant on a serving platter, spoon over the garlic oil, then dust with the smoked paprika.
