Miso Ginger Grilled Eggplant



Eggplants. What else can I say about them except that I love to eat them. I had had two in the fridge. I'm still trying to get out of my post-holiday cooking slump. I want to cook something, but I can't think of anything to cook. Why -oh-why? I seriously had ho idea what I wanted to make with these delicious plump eggplants. So I just went the grilled route. Pulled out ol' Georgie for the heck of it. I paired it with a miso ginger glaze. Oh, So good and delicious. Nice and gingery just how I like it. Yum!!  Look at those awesome grill marks. I had these with a couple of popovers.

Serves 2-3




Miso Ginger Glazed Grilled Eggplant

2 medium eggplants

Miso Ginger Glaze
2 Tbsp white miso
1/2 Tbsp grated ginger
1/3 c water
1 tsp granulated sugar
1 tsp rice wine vinegar

Prepare your grill.

Combine all the ingredients of the glaze. Be sure all the sugar has dissolved. Set aside.

Slice the eggplants lengthwise about 1/2-inch thick. When the grill is ready. Place the eggplants down. Baste the top side. Flip after 3-5 minutes. (depending on heat) You'd want some good grill marks. Baste the other side and grill for another 2 minutes.

Rem0ove from the grill. Serve warm.

Eggplant is one of a few vegs that I still haven't gotten right: it always comes out unpalatably mushy. Your grilled versions look so good, though! Are those your cheese popovers paired with them? Mmmm . . .

Yeah, those grill marks are wicked good, especially from a Foreman.

i just had eggplant parm for lunch, and i had an amazing eggplant with garlic sauce with dinner last night, but i NEVER make it at home. i wonder why that is, because apparently i do enjoy it.

Diana said...

What brand of miso do you buy? I've been wanting to work with it, but am intimidated by the options!

i rarely have eggplant, i just don't think to get them, but i really need to try these, they look fantastic!

Good idea! I always get excited when I buy eggplant, but 9 times out of 10 just make a ratatouille with it. I haven't tried it on its own...

More eggplant! Also loving the eggplant. This is a classic that never disappoints at restaurants. It's more fun to make it at home.
