Salad Of Grilled Pepper And Eggplant With Chinese Glaze Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and saute until browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Add remaining olive oil to the skillet; add eggplant and bell pepper. Saute until starting to soften, about 5 minutes. Add tomato, garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper; cook 2 to 3 minutes more. Return sauteed onion to the skillet. Adjust seasonings if necessary. Transfer eggplant mixture to a baking pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Cool before serving, about 1 hour.

Steps:

• Set up a grill for cooking with direct and indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only.
• Peel the eggplants and slice into 1/2-inch-thick rings. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and drizzle with olive oil on both sides. Place on the direct-heat side of the grill and char, cooking until softened, about 2 minutes per side. Remove to a cutting board and cut each slice into quarters.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the red wine vinegar, Dijon and honey. Drizzle in 1/2 cup of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. In a large bowl, combine the arugula, mozzarella, onion and eggplant. Dress with the vinaigrette and serve!

Steps:

• Put vinegar in a medium saucepan over high heat, bring to a boil and reduce until thick and syrupy. Stir in the honey and coarsely ground black pepper and transfer to a bowl. Can be made 1 day in advance and refrigerated and brought to room temperature before using.
• Heat the grill to high.
• Brush both sides of the eggplant with oil and season with salt and pepper. Place the eggplant on the grill and grill until golden brown and slightly charred, about 4 minutes. Turn over and continue grilling until just cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes longer.
• Transfer 8 slices of the eggplant to a flat surface and top each slice with a slice of cheese and 2 basil leaves and season with salt and pepper. Repeat, making 4 stacks, each with 3 slices of eggplant and 2 slices of cheese. Carefully return the stacks to the grill and grill for 2 minutes, or until the cheese is slightly melted. Remove the stacks to a large dinner plate and drizzle with some of the balsamic-black pepper glaze. Garnish with some of the chopped basil.

Steps:

• Preheat grill or broiler.
• Mix the sesame oil, rice vinegar, ginger, soy sauce, sugar and chili oil together. Brush on the peppers and the eggplant slices.
• Grill or broil the peppers and eggplant until nicely seared. When the grilling is done, coarsely chop the peppers and eggplant. Fold in the scallions, allow to cool to room temperature and serve as a side dish sprinkled with coriander.

Steps:

• Cut 2 small eggplants lengthwise into 1/2-inch-thick planks and 2 small red onions into 1-inch wedges. Toss with 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil and season with salt. Grill over medium-high heat until charred and tender, turning once, 6 minutes. Toss with 1 1/2 tablespoons each red wine vinegar and olive oil, 1/2 cup chopped parsley, some sliced pickled hot cherry peppers, and salt.

Steps:

• Halve 2 eggplants lengthwise and rub the cut sides with 1 smashed garlic clove; brush with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Grill until charred, 8 minutes per side. Let cool, then chop. Whisk 3 tablespoons plain yogurt, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar and 1 grated garlic clove; season with salt and pepper. Toss with the eggplant, 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes and 1/2 cup chopped mixed herbs.

Steps:

• Dust eggplant liberally with 2 tablespoons salt and place in a colander to sweat out bitter flavor, 30 to 60 minutes.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Rinse eggplant slices to remove salt. Pat dry.
• Combine olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Brush mixture on both sides of every eggplant slice.
• Cook the eggplant on the preheated grill until soft and moist, about 6 minutes per side. Remove eggplant from the heat and set aside until cool enough to handle, about 10 minutes. Chop into 1-inch cubes.
• Combine eggplant, red peppers, feta cheese, olives, parsley, vinegar, and garlic. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Try not to overmix because this mashes up the eggplant. Serve as-is.
