Mediterranean Grilled Eggplant Delight Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 2 large eggplants 🍆
  • 1/4 cup olive oil 🫒
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced 🧄
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano 🌿
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme 🌱
  • Salt and pepper, to taste 🧂
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved 🍅
  • 1/2 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and sliced 🫒
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese 🧀
  • Fresh basil leaves, for garnish 🌿

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Grill:

    • Fire up your grill to medium-high heat, ensuring it’s ready for some smoky goodness!
  2. Prepare the Eggplants:

    • Cut the eggplants into 1/2-inch thick slices, ensuring they are uniform for even grilling.
  3. Create the Marinade:

    • In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. This aromatic marinade will infuse the eggplant with irresistible flavors.
  4. Marinate the Eggplants:

    • Brush each eggplant slice generously with the prepared marinade, making sure to coat both sides. Allow the eggplants to soak in the flavors for at least 15 minutes.
  5. Grill to Perfection:

    • Place the marinated eggplant slices on the preheated grill. Grill each side for approximately 3-4 minutes or until they develop those beautiful grill marks and become tender.
  6. Assemble the Delight:

    • Once grilled to perfection, arrange the eggplant slices on a serving platter. Now, it’s time to layer on the Mediterranean goodness!
  7. Add Tomatoes and Olives:

    • Sprinkle the halved cherry tomatoes and sliced Kalamata olives over the grilled eggplant. This adds a burst of freshness and a hint of brininess.
  8. Crumbled Feta Magic:

    • Generously crumble feta cheese over the entire dish. The creamy and tangy feta will elevate the flavors to new heights.
  9. Garnish with Fresh Basil:

    • Finish off your creation by scattering fresh basil leaves over the top. The aromatic basil not only adds a pop of color but also enhances the overall fragrance of the dish.
