Grilled Eggplant

Ingredients:

2 medium eggplants
1 tsp salt
2 tbsp vegetable oil
2 tbsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp garlic salt

Directions:

1. Preheat grill or broiler. Grease grill rack or broiler pan. Slice eggplants into 1/2" thick slices.

2. Sprinkle salt over eggplant slices. Let sit for 15 minutes, pat dry with paper towels.

3. Meanwhile, combine oil, lemon juice and garlic salt in a small bowl. Brush oil mixture onto both sides of each eggplant slice.

4. Grill eggplant, turning once until tender about two minutes on each side.

Tips:
-Use tongs to flip instead of fork as the pieces are tender and will wreck if speared.
-Fresh lemon juice is best for the taste in this recipe. So buy some fresh lemons in peak season and squeeze them into ice cube trays. Freeze until needed. One cube will equal approximately 1 tbsp juice.
