Ingredients
Balsamic vinegar 1 cup or 255g
Directions
- Slice the eggplant into about ½ inch (or a bit thinner) circles. Arrange the slices on a large cutting board and sprinkle with salt on both sides. Let them rest while preparing the balsamic dressing.
- To make the dressing, add the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and garlic into a small jar. Shake or stir well with a spoon.
- Heat your grilling pan to a medium heat. While the pan is heating, remove some of the water from the eggplants with the help of a kitchen towel. Once the pan is hot, place the eggplant slices on top in a single layer and leave to cook.
- After about 2 minutes, check to see if they have developed nice char marks, and then flip them over onto the other side. Once cooked, remove and place on a chopping board to rest. Repeat this step until you run out of eggplant slices.
- To plate the grilled eggplant, massage a handful of arugula or baby spinach in your hands and place in the center of the plate. Drizzle the greens with the balsamic dressing. Arrange the eggplant slices in a circle around the greens and generously drizzle with balsamic vinegar dressing. Serve.
