Grilled Eggplant & Feta

Ingredients

  • 1 large eggplant
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1 large garlic clove, or 2 small garlic cloves, pressed or minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt, plus more as needed
  • 2 ounces feta cheese, crumbled (about 1/3 cup)

Cooking Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the grill to high.

Step 2: Trim the ends off of the eggplant and cut it crosswise into twelve 1/2-inch thick slices.  Lightly season just the tops of the slices with salt.

Step 3: In a small bowl, whisk together the red wine vinegar, olive oil, dried oregano, garlic & salt.

Step 4: Lay the eggplant slices on the grill with the salted side up.  Grill, uncovered, for 5 minutes, then flip.

Step 5: Spoon or brush all of the garlic-herb mixture over the tops, sprinkle evenly with the feta, then cover the grill and continue grilling until the cheese is melted and the eggplant is tender, about 5 minutes more.

Step 6: Transfer the grilled eggplant to a serving platter and serve hot or warm.
