Grilled Eggplant with Middle Eastern Spices Recipe - (4/5) image

Provided by battlecj

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 eggplant (a medium eggplant is about a pound)
ground coriander seed
ground cumin seed
salt
pepper
olive oil
optional -- hot pepper, see below

Steps:

  • Slice eggplant into slices about half an inch thick. Sprinkle with coriander, cumin, and pepper. Drizzle with olive oil and smear it on with your hands. Let sit for 5 to 10 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and grill on a medium-hot grill, about 4 minutes per side. If you like more spice, whisk a little hot pepper into the olive oil before drizzling. Aleppo pepper is an authentic Middle Eastern one, or a little Harissa paste. Cayenne or other hot pepper works fine if that's what's on hand. Each eggplant serves 3-4. Nutritional Information: Figuring four servings and 1 Tablespoon olive oil, each serving has 4 grams effective carbohydrate plus 3 grams fiber and 60 calories.
