In our recipe, the\u00a0<\/strong>aubergines\u00a0are cut into thin slices,\u00a0<strong>grilled on the griddle<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0and then seasoned with a\u00a0<strong>slightly spicy marinade<\/strong>\u00a0made with extra virgin olive oil, garlic and chilli pepper that you can vary according to your tastes, for example by adding aromatic herbs. The secret to preventing the aubergines from sticking to the grill is to use a\u00a0<strong>very hot griddle<\/strong>\u00a0; if you prefer, you can cook them in a pan or in the oven, but in this case they will not have the typical dark stripes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Delicious immediately after preparation, they become even more fragrant and tasty after a few hours of rest. In addition to being a side dish for grilled meat and fish, they are excellent to serve as an\u00a0<strong>appetizer<\/strong>\u00a0together with cheeses and cured meats or to fill sandwiches, rustic pizzas and savory pies. If not seasoned, they can also be used to make a\u00a0light parmigiana\u00a0, tasty\u00a0involtini\u00a0or appetizing\u00a0aubergine pizzas\u00a0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although it is a quick and easy preparation, to have&nbsp;<strong>perfect grilled eggplants<\/strong>&nbsp;it is important to follow some&nbsp;<strong>small tricks<\/strong>&nbsp;that improve the final result. If the type is not discriminating, so you can use long, oval, black, purple or white eggplants, what you need to pay particular attention to is the cut: the eggplant slices must be&nbsp;<strong>half a centimeter<\/strong>&nbsp;, the ideal thickness to avoid them burning or, on the contrary, remaining raw in some places. Bleeding is optional: we chose to sprinkle them with salt and let them rest for half an hour, but when you don&#8217;t have time you can skip this step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Discover how to make grilled eggplants by following the step-by-step procedure and tips, and also try\u00a0baked eggplants\u00a0,\u00a0mushroom-style eggplants\u00a0and\u00a0eggplants in oil\u00a0, all excellent alternatives for cooking eggplants. Among other\u00a0eggplant recipes\u00a0, we recommend\u00a0pasta alla Norma\u00a0, typical of Sicilian tradition, and\u00a0babaganoush\u00a0, popular in Middle Eastern cuisine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">round and long aubergines<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">500 gr<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Extra virgin olive oil<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">50 ml<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Garlic<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2 wedges<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fresh chilli pepper<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">1<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">salt<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">qb<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to prepare grilled aubergines<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/staticcookist.akamaized.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/21\/2022\/05\/1-melanzane-grigliate-affetta-melanzane-_MG_8128.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Step 1<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Start preparing the grilled aubergines by washing and drying the aubergines, then trim them and cut them into slices about half a centimetre thick.1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/staticcookist.akamaized.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/21\/2022\/05\/2-melanzane-grigliate-cospargi-con-sale_MG_8216.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Step 2<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you want to eliminate the typical bitter aftertaste, place them in a colander and sprinkle with salt.2.

When you have finished, season the grilled aubergines with the marinade, distributing it evenly. Let them rest for at least half an hour, better if a few hours, then bring to the table and serve6.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to season grilled aubergines<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We have suggested our favorite seasoning, a&nbsp;<strong>flavored oil<\/strong>&nbsp;emulsion that makes grilled aubergines fragrant and irresistible. However, there are many ways to season them: one of the most classic seasonings, for example, is with&nbsp;<strong>dried oregano , but other&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>aromatic herbs<\/strong>&nbsp;such as marjoram, thyme, mint and parsley are also excellent&nbsp;. If you don&#8217;t like spicy food, you can omit the chili pepper from the marinade, but we suggest you don&#8217;t give up on the garlic, which can also be added in cloves so that it can be removed more easily. For a&nbsp;<strong>light<\/strong>&nbsp;version without oil, you can season the aubergines with&nbsp;<strong>balsamic vinegar<\/strong>&nbsp;or&nbsp;<strong>apple cider vinegar<\/strong>&nbsp;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">storage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Grilled aubergines can be stored in the refrigerator, in an airtight container, for&nbsp;<strong>3-4 days<\/strong>&nbsp;. Once grilled, they can also be frozen: place them in transparent plastic bags, taking care to separate the slices with baking paper, so that it is easier to defrost the necessary quantity each time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cookist.it\/\"><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Preparation:&nbsp;15 min Cooking:&nbsp;20 min Rest:&nbsp;1 Hour Serves:&nbsp;4 people Grilled aubergines\u00a0are\u00a0a\u00a0simple and tasty\u00a0vegetarian\u00a0side dish , perfect for appreciating all the goodness of this typical summer vegetable.
