Ingredients

  • 1 large eggplant, about 1 lb/500 g
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme

Preparation

Peel eggplant; cut into 1/2-inch (1 cm) thick slices. Sprinkle with salt. Let stand in colander until moisture seeps out, about 10 minutes. Pat dry with paper towel.

Whisk together oil, lemon juice, thyme and pepper; brush half over eggplant. Place on greased grill over medium heat; close lid and grill, turning once and brushing with remaining oil mixture, until tender, about 10 minutes.
