Grilled Eggplant Teriyaki: Date Added: 21 Nov 2009 Ingredients:

2 medium to large eggplants - (abt 2 1/2 lbs total)
Teriyaki Marinade (see recipe)
2 scallions, green parts only -- thinly sliced
1/2 red bell pepper -- finely diced
1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Cooking Instructions:

Slice the eggplants 1/2-inch thick and peel. Salt them and let stand in a colander for 30 minutes, then rinse well.

Prepare grill. Brush the eggplant slices generously on both sides with Teriyaki Marinade. Grill on each side until nicely browned and tender (5 to 10 minutes on each side, depending on the heat of the coals). Remove and let cool slightly on a cutting surface.

Cut into strips and place in a serving container. Stir in the scallions. Add enough additional Teriyaki Sauce to moisten and flavor the eggplant to taste. Sprinkle the top with the red pepper dice and sesame seeds.

This recipe yields 6 servings.
