Eggplant and Peppers with Feta image

There is something about eggplant that I really love, and when you grill it, an amazing thing happens to the taste and texture that is truly delicious. Grilling adds a smoky flavor that I cannot resist. This recipe is from"Emeril at the Grill" by Emeril Lagasse.

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 large eggplants, ends trimmed, sliced into 1/3-inch-thick rounds
Salt
1 red bell pepper, cored, seeded, and sliced lengthwise into 8 pieces
1 yellow bell pepper, cored, seeded, and sliced lengthwise into 8 pieces
1 green bell pepper, cored, seeded, and sliced lengthwise into 8 pieces
1 orange bell pepper, cored, seeded, and sliced lengthwise into 8 pieces
1/3 cup olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup feta cheese, crumbled (3 ounces)
1 tablespoon minced fresh marjoram, oregano, or basil, or a combination
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Juice of 1 lemon

Steps:

  • Place the eggplant slices on a wire rack and sprinkle them lightly with salt on both sides. Set the rack aside until the eggplant begins to "sweat," usually 15 to 20 minutes. Blot the eggplant dry with clean paper towels.
  • Arrange the eggplant and all the bell pepper slices on a large baking sheet, and brush both sides of all the pieces with the olive oil. Season with kosher salt and black pepper. Transfer the eggplant and peppers to the grill, in batches if necessary, and cook, turning them occasionally to promote even browning, until they are softened and nicely marked, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Transfer the grilled eggplant slices to a large platter, and top them with the pepper strips. Garnish with the crumbled feta and minced marjoram. Drizzle with the olive oil and lemon juice, and serve either warm or at room temperature.
