Grilled Eggplant Steaks Recipe

Add Step-by-Step Photos	Primalux / All my dishes 2 years, 3 months ago These come out with a very meaty/chewy almost tough texture that I love. They're really good for using as a replacement for meat in burgers or sandwiches, or cut into strips and put in burritos or stir frys or something. Prep:60m Cook:8m Servings:8	Primalux

Ingredients

1 large eggplant

salt

olive oil

2-3 cloves garlic, minced

4 leaves fresh basil, chopped

pepper

any other seasonings you enjoy

Directions

Take one large eggplant and slice it into rounds about 1/2 to 1 inch thick

Lay the slices out on a kitchen towel or wire racks and sprinkle them liberally with salt

Lay another towel or some paper towels on top of them and then put a large cutting board or a large skillet on top of them. Add something like a coffee can on top of that for weight. Basically we're trying to get as much moisture as possible out of the eggplant. If you've ever pressed tofu before cooking it, it's basically the same concept.

In a bowl, mix the oil, garlic, basil, some salt and pepper, and whatever other spices you like.

After half an hour flip the slices over and repeat the salting and pressing steps.

Half an hour later remove the slices and rinse them very, very well. Press them lightly with an absorbant towel to dry.

Brush the oil mixture onto the slices, covering both sides really well.

Put the slices on the grill and continue to brush them with whatever you've got left of the oil mixture

Flip them halfway through cooking. They're done once they're heated all the way through really, I like them a little blackened though, so feel free to leave them on as long as you'd like

Yummmm. I see eggplant burgers in my future. I would also put these on pizza. If you haven't already done so, you should totally try topping pizza with marinated, roasted eggplant... Anyway, thanks for posting this!
