Best Grilled Eggplant With String Bean And Tomato Salad Recipes

BALSAMIC GRILLED EGGPLANT

Steps:

• Preheat a grill or a grill pan, over medium-high heat. I like to use a dual-contact electric grill when making this recipe.
• Trim the eggplant edges and slice crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick rounds. You should get about 12 rounds out of a large eggplant.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, salt, pepper and garlic powder. Brush the eggplant rounds with the mixture, on both sides. Set aside any remaining sauce.
• Grill the eggplant slices until golden brown and fork-tender, about 5 minutes on each side. In my dual-contact electric grill, I grill 5 minutes on one side, then 2 minutes on the second side.
• Brush the eggplant slices with the remaining marinade and serve.

GREEN BEAN AND TOMATO SALAD

Steps:

• Trim ends of beans and leave them whole.
• Drop beans into a saucepan with salted boiling water. Cook until crisp tender, about 3 to 5 minutes according to the size of the beans. Do not overcook. Drain and let cool.
• Cut away the core of each tomato, and cut it into wedges.
• In a salad bowl, add mustard, vinegar, shallots, garlic, oil, salt and pepper and blend with a wire whisk. Add beans and tomatoes, toss well. Sprinkle with basil.

Steps:

• Heat grill to medium high. Prick the eggplant all over with a fork, put in on the grill and close the cover; cook, turning occasionally, until eggplant is very soft and skin is blistered, about 15 minutes.
• When cool enough, scoop out the insides of the eggplant and coarsely chop. Transfer to a bowl and toss with tomatoes, vinegar, salt, oregano and garlic. Stir in oil and parsley; season with pepper and more salt if needed. Garnish with capers if you like them. Serve with warm pita bread.
