Time 50m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons sesame oil
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
1/2 cup fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons ketchup
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 teaspoons fresh chili peppers, seeded and minced (your choice)
2 medium eggplants, cut into rounds (1 inch thick)
1/4 cup vegetable oil
salt & freshly ground black pepper
8 scallions, thinly sliced on the bias (white and green parts)
3 tablespoons coriander seeds, toasted
1 tablespoon red pepper flakes

Steps:

  • To make the sauce: In a medium saucepan, heat the sesame oil over medium heat until hot, but not smoking. Add the garlic and ginger and saute stirring occasionally for 3 minutes. Add the lime juice, ketchup, brown sugar, and chile peppers and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring once in a while, for 20 minutes or until the sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Remove from the heat and set aside.
  • Put the eggplant rounds into a medium bowl along with the vegetable oil and salt and pepper to taste, and toss to coat. Cook the eggplant on the grill over medium-high heat and cook until browned and soft, about 4 minutes per side. To check for doneness: Cut into the eggplant and check to be sure the interior looks moist. Brush the eggplant on both sides with the chile sauce, leave it on the grill for about 10 seconds and then remove it from the grill. Sprinkle with the scallions, coriander and red pepper flakes. Serve warm.

These grilled eggplant rounds are a great appetizer or side dish. They're easy to make and so flavorful. I love the sweet chile sauce, but you could also use a different sauce, like a teriyaki sauce or a soy sauce-based sauce.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover eggplant. I had some eggplant that was starting to go bad, so I decided to try this recipe. I'm so glad I did! The eggplant was delicious and the sauce was the perfect finishing touch.

I'm always looking for new ways to cook eggplant, and this recipe is a winner. The eggplant is roasted until it's caramelized and tender, and the sauce is the perfect balance of sweet and savory. I'll definitely be making this again.

I love the smoky flavor that the grill gives to the eggplant. It really takes this dish to the next level. The sauce is also perfect. It's sweet, tangy, and a little bit spicy. I can't get enough of it.

I'm always looking for healthy recipes that are also easy to make. This recipe definitely fits the bill. The eggplant is roasted, so it's not fried. And the sauce is made with healthy ingredients, like honey and soy sauce.
