Lime and Sesame Grilled Eggplant image

When I lived in Greece, I fell in love with eggplant. My recipe's seasonings have an Asian theme, but the dish still makes me think Greek. —Allyson Meyler, Greensboro, North Carolina

This is one of my favorite recipes! I love the smoky flavor of the grilled eggplant and the tangy lime marinade. I always get compliments when I serve it.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my eggplant was still a bit tough. I think I'll try grilling it for a few minutes longer next time.

I'm a vegetarian, so I substituted tofu for the eggplant. It turned out great! The tofu absorbed the marinade really well and had a nice grilled flavor.

This was a great way to use up some leftover eggplant. I added a bit of chopped cilantro to the marinade, which gave it a nice fresh flavor.

This recipe is a keeper! I've made it several times and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The eggplant is so tender and flavorful.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my eggplant didn't turn out as flavorful as I expected. Maybe I didn't let it marinate long enough.

The eggplant was a bit too charred for my taste. I think I'll grill it for less time next time.

This was a quick and easy weeknight meal. I used pre-cut eggplant from the grocery store, which saved me a lot of time. The marinade came together in minutes.

I'm not a huge eggplant fan, but this recipe changed my mind! The marinade really infused the eggplant with flavor. I served it with rice and a side of roasted vegetables.

This recipe was a hit at my last dinner party! The combination of lime and sesame was unique and flavorful. I grilled the eggplant slightly longer than recommended, which gave it a nice smoky flavor.
