Adapted from Leblon Finatinas para Guam [Guam Cookbook]. I have also enjoyed this recipe served HOT - while your grilling the eggplant just heat up the sauce for a different twist! Serve as main dish, or a side with rice. (Serve with Red Rice and Finadene for a real Guam fiesta experience.)

Steps:
- Pre-heat grill.
- With a sharp knife, pierce skin of each eggplant in 4-5 places to prevent the eggplants from bursting while on the grill. Lightly coat each eggplant with olive oil.
- Place eggplants over high heat to char, and cook until eggplant is completely soft, with no spongy areas (spongy = still not cooked through). Time will depend on the size of the vegetables. Remove from heat and allow to cool enough to handle.
- Holding the stem end, remove peel by pulling downwards - peel should come away easily, leaving the vegetable flesh intact. Once eggplants are peeled, they can be refrigerated 3-4 days for later use.
- Combine onions, coconut milk, lemon, salt, and peppers. Taste coconut milk mixture and correct for salt, if necessary - it sould be lemony and slightly sweet. Allow to sit for 30 minutes while you prepare eggplants.
- Cut peeled eggplants crosswise into bite-size chunks. Add eggplants and gently combine to distribute flavors. Garnish with green onion rings.
