Italian Grilled Eggplant with Basil and Parsley (Melanzane Grigliate al Basilico e Prezzemolo) image

This Italian side dish (aka 'contorno') couldn't be easier! We make this often during the summer, when we have an abundance of basil and parsley growing in our garden. Works well with zucchini, too!

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my eggplant turned out dry and tough. Maybe I didn't grill it long enough?
