Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon tamari soy sauce
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large eggplant
1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas, drained
4 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
1/2 cup black olives, pitted
2 medium tomatoes, diced
2 tablespoons fresh oregano or 2 tablespoons parsley
salt and pepper
4 (6 1/2 inch) pita bread
4 teaspoons balsamic vinegar

Steps:

  • To make the Balsamic Marinade: combine the first 5 ingredients, slowly adding the oil and stirring briskly to combine well. Set aside.
  • Prepare a hot charcoal fire or preheat a gas grill to medium-high. Place a vegetable grilling rack on the grill. Or preheat the broiler.
  • To make the Eggplant steaks: cut the eggplant lengthwise into four 1/2" slices to resemble steaks. Brush the steaks with the marinade.

  • Put the chickpeas, tomatoes, feta, olives and oregano in a bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and stir to combine well. Add some marinade, and stir again.
  • Toast or grill the pita bread, cut into pie-shaped wedges and set aside.

GRILLED EGGPLANT AND PEPPERS WITH FETA



Grilled Eggplant and Peppers with Feta image

An easy way to make a tasty eggplant dish. Grilling the eggplant gives it a surprisingly different flavor, and it tastes great with peppers, feta cheese, and spices. I eat this as a stand-alone dish, but my husband likes to eat his on toasted potato rolls as a sandwich filling. If you eat it without a bun it's gluten-free, as well as vegetarian. It's also great topped with a fried egg!

Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 large eggplant, sliced into 1/4-inch thick rounds
½ red bell pepper, seeded and sliced lengthwise into 4 strips
½ green bell pepper, seeded and sliced lengthwise into 4 strips
½ yellow bell pepper, seeded and sliced lengthwise into 4 strips
½ orange bell pepper, seeded and sliced lengthwise into 4 strips
¼ cup olive oil
1 tablespoon steak seasoning (such as Montreal Steak Seasoning®)
¼ cup crumbled feta cheese

1 tablespoon ground oregano

Steps:

  • Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
  • Place eggplant and all bell peppers into a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat. Sprinkle with steak seasoning; coat well.

  • Remove from grill. Arrange in 4 piles, starting with a slice of eggplant and alternating eggplant and pepper slices, including one slice of each bell pepper color in each pile. Top with feta cheese. Sprinkle with basil and oregano. Serve warm.
