Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Rinse and trim the ends of the eggplant. You don't have to peel the eggplant but discard the first and last slices (they will be the heels) Slice eggplant lengthwise (thin but not too thin), grill the slices on either a hot pan grill or bbq until tender (careful not to burn) for approximately 1-2 minutes on either side, remove grilled eggplant to a clean plate and continue until all the eggplant slices are grilled.
  2. In a medium bowl layer eggplant, sprinkle with a pinch of salt ,some chopped garlic , some chopped Italian parsley and drizzle with olive oil (from the 1/4 cup), continue with layers until all the eggplant is finished (I usually do 3 layers). Toss gently together, serve with a simple bruschetta or Italian crusty bread. Enjoy!
