HI everyone, ok im going to cook my eggplant tonight for dinner to go as a side dish and i know i have asked how to cook it and the one thing i did not see someone recommend is grilling so my question can you grill it, has anyone done this if so how do you do it, im grilling some steak and jalepeno poppers for dinner and was trying to do something with this eggplant before it goes bad and my carbs allow for me to try it so any suggestions?

Yes, you can grill it. you can slice it, brush it with olive oil, and grill it, or you can keep it whole, poke holes in it so it doesn't explode, and grill it whole until it collapses, then you can cut it open, scoop out the flesh and mash it up with olive oil, salt, pepper, sauteed onions, garlic or whatever suits your taste.

I should mention, if you grill it whole, you should open up the grill every so often and roll it around so one side doesn't totally overcook. If you grill slices, do pretty high heat, for a short amount of time. If you grill it whole, do medium heat and check it every 10 minutes or so until it collapses.

Look at your other eggplant thread. In one of my posts, I give the link to a site. That site has photos about slicing the eggplant into rounds. If you grill those eggplant round, brush them lightly with olive oil and cook until the eggplant is soft throughout.
