Time 10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 large or four baby eggplant
Coarse salt
1 small onion
1 tablespoon plus 1/4 cup olive oil
1 clove garlic, peeled
4 tomatoes, peeled and seeded
2 red peppers, seeded and cut into eighths
Herb bouquet (parsley, thyme and bay leaf tied in cheesecloth)
Freshly ground pepper
Snipped fresh basil leaves to garnish

Steps:

  • Slice the eggplant in pieces a half an inch thick. If using the large purple variety, sprinkle with salt and allow to drain for one hour. Pat dry with paper towels.
  • Meanwhile, make the red pepper sauce. Soften the onion in 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add the garlic, tomatoes, peppers, garlic and herb bouquet. Add 1/2 cup water, cover, and cook slowly for about 20 minutes, or until the peppers are soft. Remove the herb bouquet and puree the peppers in a food processor until smooth. Cool to room temperature and correct seasoning.
  • Preheat coals. Brush the eggplant slices with remaining olive oil and grill until charred. Arrange on a long serving dish in one or two rows, season with pepper to taste and pour the sauce along the middle of the slices. Sprinkle with basil and serve.
