Serves 4.
openrecipes
In place of the slender Asian eggplant, you can use 1 large globe eggplant, but its flesh must be salted first to draw off some of the bitter juices. Cut crosswise into rounds 1/2 inch thick, sprinkle the rounds with salt, place in a colander and let stand for about 30 minutes. Rinse well, pat dry, brush with oil and grill according to the recipe.
