Time 20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 eggplants
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 -2 teaspoon dried oregano
salt
pepper
1/2 cup feta, crumbled
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup toasted pine nuts (dry roast in a pan until light brown)
2 tablespoons fresh basil (roll leaves up like a cigar, and finely slice)
1 tablespoon of fresh mint, chopped

Steps:

  • Cut eggplants lengthwise into ¼ inch slices. Heat up a grill pan (or grill). Brush both sides of the eggplant slices with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and dried oregano. Grill eggplants for 3-4 minutes on each side or until tender. Using a grill pan - as opposed to a regular pan - gives the eggplants brown grill marks which look really attractive when you present the salad. If you don't have a grill pan, it's only aesthetic so don't worry.
  • Arrange the grilled slices on a serving platter. Sprinkle feta, pine nuts, basil and mint over the top. Finally, just before serving, drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and vinegar. Season with salt and pepper as needed.

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
¼ cup chopped fresh basil
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.
  • Place eggplant and bell pepper slices directly on the preheated grill. Cook until eggplant is softened, marked, and slightly charred and peppers are softened and marked, 15 to 20 minutes, turning every 3 to 5 minutes. Reduce heat as necessary to prevent burning.
  • 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.
